It'll be a Beachcraft, possibly V35 Bonanza with the butterfly tail.

Correct On-MarkBob, it the 1958 V-tailed Bonanza.

...or as it is known in the USA....the "Forked Tail Doctor Killer".

Just an easy one to keep the thread going.

This thread has really slowed down! So, to keep it going, a guess. WWII, American, P-63 perhaps? However, I am, not convinced!

Where has Ms Cringe gone?

LOMCEVAK
American, yes and WWII, but not the P-63.

One thunk 'tis indeed a Bell aircraft :
P-59B Airacomet

The Invisible Cat
You have thunked correctly :D . It is the Bell P-59B Airacomet You have control

Is this a glider by any chance?

'tis indeed a glider

to make it easier, it is not German and although it is European, it has some connections with the cousins on the far side of the pond.

Bréguet Br-901 ?

Congrats, Ms Cringe, 'tis indeed a Breguet Br-901 (in German)
The link with the cousins on the far side of the pond is the excellent Paul McCready (see also here), one of the most successful fathers of the human powered and solar powered flight.
Glider pilots know him better for his theory of cross-country flight optimization, which lead to the McCready ring and hence to his victory in the 1956 world gliding championships, on a Br-901

Thanks, TIC. Next challenge:

late thirties US twin ?

A twin, yes. Not American. Not from the '30s.

Has this Thread Bacome a Valuable Research Resource?
 

Idly flicking through the 134 Pages of this thread, I have realised that as an unintentional 'spin off' by sorting through by date and country, the story of the development of the Cockpit has been illustrated. When this thread reaches the magic 90,000 it may be worth collating into an online resource for research.
Just an idle thought from an Idle Man.

Scottish Aviation Twin Pioneer?

Pigboat,

Smaller and earlier than the Pioneer. European, but not British. One of the two survivors.

Opssys,

Great idea. Not sure about copyright issues.

I think there are two surviving Hurel-Dubois HD-34s, so that's my complete guess...
