OK, but to save any hunting, it is a yank? A Seversky?

It is from the US, but not a Seversky.

Vey silent....I keep thinking its French (maybe a homebuild) but cant find anything that matches. Whats more frustrating is that I've seen this somewhere before....

Me too.

I thought of Pander, Dessoutter and Deperdussin amongst others, but nothing matches.

Found some interesting stuff in my travels though.

I'm not convinced its that old....maybe 50's, or perhaps 60's.

Time to ponder over a spot of lunch!

The other thing which is bugging me is that very narrow in-line engine.

Skytrain10 is close. It is homebuilt and it is from France. and the era? the first one 1950 and the second one 1982, but maybe that one was not completed.
The designer created some more conventional and several unconventional types. Despite the ancient lines he had a somewhat contradicting name for this one

Good afternoon Walter-K,

Could it be the Starck AS-90 "New Look" ??

I've been trying to find an illustration, but with no luck so far. I have to get back to work now, so plesae declare Open House if correct.
