Supercharged ?

It look like the tubular frame structure should be covered, so is it some kind of restoration ?

dook just beat me to it, it looks like a WWII airframe, but the photo is modern and if you look in the background there's a vice on a workbench, so I agree that it's likely underr restoration somewhere and going by bear's recent posts, it's probably a Dutch aircraft in a museum in the Netherlands

It doesn't look like a furniture factory in the background so I don't think it's a Pander!!

How about a Fokker?
