Feels like it over on Which Aerodrome dook.

So I guess we are in Italy ?

I'm quarantined so I'll play from a safe distance!

Saiman 200?

Quarantine working !

Saiman 200 it is.

Your virus.

A new one on me: it looks even more like a Stampe with its clothes on.

It does, until you look at the interplane struts.

dook, Thanks. An interesting challenge and surprisingly, it was missing from my favourite reference book "Aircraft and the Air" by Eric Sargent.

No silhouette technology available so Open House.

PM for I42.

Here’s one that’s more modern.

Aermacchi AL.60?

I had never heard of the Aermacchi AL.60 so I looked it up and discovered it is the same aircraft as the one I posted, which is the Lockheed-Azcarate (LASA) 60.

An interesting history - designed by Al Mooney when he was at Lockheed:

Quemerford has control.

I hope this does the trick:

Interesting to say the least.

Am I right in thinking that the aircrafts' right engine is on the fuselage ?

If so, then the strut between the two engines might be to improve torsional rigidity.

No it's not: just the angle of the photo playing tricks!

Anyone up for severe/ extreme asymmetrical flight?

Surely not dook. Unless some weird testing aircraft experiment gone wrong.

That's a trusy old PA-32 Seminole - if ever I've seen one - and I've flown it.

Oh sh1t - wait - that strut - and the tail wheel - not it's not.

Piper though...wait a minute...that's high-wing - hence dook's confusion...

It looks like the mess you'd get if you crossed a Piper twin with a Cessna twin with some idiot adding "an extra leading edge" between the engines - and to stop them falling off.

I'm going to go back to original guess and say it's an Experimental prototype Piper.
Those are 360 Lyco's under those cowlings or I'll eat my hat.

Looks a bit like a modified Do-28A?

More like modified Pilatus PC-8D prototype
But apparently not.

I'll run with the Dornier but can't find anything.

Helio Twin Courier!
