Hi LM,
Is it the FG-8 Guanabara ?
Oops; I see that Richard has beaten me to it!
With ref to your post #8547,
"....especially at my age......." I thought that you'd find that "hard" not to comment!!, twaz wondering about that when I committed my typo (although the coffee break was truncated in reality, so why not in print).

Richard,
It isn't a licence-built Fokker S12, but a development of it called the Guanabara. They are not the same aeroplane. The canopies are different and the S12 did not have the tip tanks. Both are shown below.

So please excuse me, but I feel the honours go to TC, who now has control.

Thanks LM,
I wasn't sure of the Fokker details; I just got lucky with a quick Google Image search on "two-seater executive" and spotted the tip tanks and raked cockpit frames on the first page with a link to Probert, I saw a mention of the S-12 there and after I posted and looked at Richard's post I assumed that it was close enough.
It's Coffeeeeee-time now, but that spelling doesn't mean that it's going to be a long one, so regretfully, it'll have to be another Open House. Sorry....
With a little luck I hope to have my home internet connection sorted in another month, then I'll be able to do my duty

Evening LM,
Is it Arthur Young's "Co-Axial" (NX92852)
I think it's another lucky search hit, but I have to go now, so if correct it'll have to be another OH Im afraid.
