Still a bit quiet!

Not a VFW 614, which was my first guess. Is it French?

Cessna Double 310


Cessna 620. 4 engine, pressurised (!) 8-10 pax. Flown in 1956, canceled in 1957.
Wonderful extension of the early 310 styling & design philosophy - would have been interesting what direction Cessna would have gone if it had succeeded!
Spending too much time in air/off line to monitor - Open house if correct.....

Time has passed and so I can confirm it's the Cessna 620. A little to early - 4 small engines, and up against a tidal wave of old airliners being disposed of by the airlines as turboprops and jets came in

Jamesel has declared OH

Would have looked `better` if it had a -310/340 fin/rudder ,rather than a DC-4/6 one...

It's a Polish PZL-Swidnik W-3WA Sokol or close derivative.

Which is why I think that it isn’t! But, I very much agree with Asturias. It does look like a DC3.

I think not a DC-3 variant but same engine,
I think the clue is in the window arrangement.

Certainly a cousin of the DC3.
Yes, the Confederate Air Force's Douglas B23 Dragon.
Harlingen. Easter 1977

You'd have some interesting exchanges on the RT in that thing!
