I'm clueless
I thought I had recognised it, but it wasn't what I thought. The wings appear to have a slight forward sweep which made me think of the LFU.205 from Germany. But its not that. Working out in the garden this afternoon so will pay it some more attention later.

Try a country adjacent to Germany. This one would be a continuation of several aircraft posted lately manufactured by the same company.

About 700 km from Berlin.

I believe the manufacturer produces mainly helicopters.

Thanks Karl,

That was a good one

Here's the next and I'll say from the start that it's not another PZL !!

Morning David ,

I'm busy all day about the house and garden, but will leave my light on and monitor frequently!

Is your Challenge resolved?

Edit: Drat, missed him it seems as his lights just gone out

Good morning Ken.

I have been having some very weird computer problems and unable to type other than in upper case. It seems to have resolved itself after reboots to the power 10.

I have declared my helicopter challenge and declared OH.

Now having a look at yours.

Morning Karl,

The engine was Czech, but not a Walter! The airframe was Eastern European too, but not Czech
