Yes, after more investigation I can find no evidence that this was built/flown although it was planned for production. Good looking though it is, it does not qualify as a flying machine so I withdraw the challenge. For those that are interested, it was the Eagle Alpina amphibian. Must be more careful!

First image - Dornier Komet?
Second image - Dornier Merkur?
Addendum - Looks like the first is also a Merkur...

I'd rather hoped to mislead with the Aeroflot picture...................... 
Yes it is the Dornier Komet/Mercur - hard to tell apart and several old pictures seem to be mislabelled as to which is which.
The Master has it again

Thanks A56.
One source says if the ventral radiator is present = Merkur. If not = Komet III.
We seem to be showing a lotta engines in this thread as an aircraft challenge - so, not wanting to buck the trend....
