You have control.
Happy New Year all. Try this one:
I think that's a Barkley-Grow T8P-1 ??
CF-BQM at the Calgary Aerospace Museum, with one of her floats in the foreground.
Not a very popular aircraft in the US, because of its fixed-gear. However, Canadian operators used it successfully on skis and floats.
BQM, on floats, was used to ferry Princess Margaret around the BC Coast, during her visit in 1958. I've been unsuccessful in finding a picture.
The tail behind belongs to CF-PAT, Twin Otter Serial Number 2. The highest time Twin Otter in the world - 25,503 hours!

Hi Graeme,
Yes, your initial observations are correct.
It's the tip of the elevator horn-balance, a very "pointy shaped" aircraft and I guess the stick must be right back!

What's that at far bottom right?

Hello Kitbag,
Yes, it is the SNCASO Onera Deltaviex (F-WBHA) shown complete with a "Toasting Fork" on the nose, extremely pointy!!
I believe the tail end shown was a later iteration in which the same aircraft was fitted with the ventral tail surface, a different canopy and a simple pitot tube on the nose!
Kitbag has control
Wouldn't be this would it? Onera Deltaviex- very pointy!
