This elegant twin is from Mexico and a design of Mr. Angel Lascurain.
I think it appeared shortly before the Lascurain-Salinas IV, but that one had a tricycle gear (I think).

If correct, LM will have to wake up again, sorry

The cockpit area brings to mind the Fairey Firefly, Barracuda and (especially) Gannet.

Knowing WK, I will bet that this isn't British at least.

Thanks LM for posting the new one.
LM and RR keep digging. You are not on the wrong track.

RR: The Mexican trigear I mentioned is not the one you posted. The one I meant looks like a tri-geared version of your original Mexico post. I will ask LM to post the photo I will send him.

Isn't that a DHC-1 wing?

The Sasin Spraymaster?

Although the canopy looks more like a Yeoman design

Yes, I reckon a version of the YA-1 Cropmaster? Similar???

...and that is exactly what I just found, although there's something wrong with the fin, which looks more Wackett.

Ridge Runner, correct!
I think it is an early YA-1 Cropmaster 250 with the Wackett fin.
You are P.I.C.
