Had a busy day, so taking a look before bed, but I'm not making much progress either!
The wing's shadow seems to be unbroken on the leading edge, leading me to suspect that it's a twin-pusher design?
The profile's shape in the region of the far main-wheel spat gives the impression that the wing may be cranked down to the main-gear, coupled with the rear end of the underside of the fuselage "pod", is that correct?
Is it a two-seater or more?

Morning
Reg Dep...no connection with the Funk's that I am aware of or can find.
Your thoughts on the engines are correct - they are there, you just can't see them because of the angle of view.
Much newer!
Good conclusions Sinco
. Yes its a twin pusher design. Wing is cranked upwards outboard of the main gear...its horizontal between the gear struts. It does have 2 seats.
To help you along its a European design.

Is this from the '80s or older?

I do not believe we have had an aircraft from this country before.
Iceland & Ireland
I simply don't believe the challenge is from either of those countries, so I'll go away now.

Good evening skytrain,
Apparently, it's called a Global 3 ! I've found a photo of TF-VKA, but little else so far ! Added Builder/owner is Kristján Árnason
Edited to say, well done LM! I'm glad you got there first, as I've spent so much time time chasing this pesky little thing I haven't got round to getting any new images off to you yet!
