Name that Flying Machine

[Asturias56]

looks like the Italian Fascist symbol on the nose

perhaps the Savoia- Marchetti S 74?

[chevvron]

Looks more like a chinese symbol to me. The radio aerials indicate it's not too old either (post 1960ish)

Not Savoia-Marchetti nor Chinese

Is it Italian?

[chevvron]

It actually looks like a VFW 614 to me.

[thnarg]

Not Italian nor VFW 614. If I panned out a bit you’d get it straight away…
