No help with the ID but 21+AG is a test or ferry code.

Perhaps a VIP about to board - the guard appears to be halfway through 'present arms' or a Germanic equivalent :)

Arado 18th May 2026 10:07

Siebel 104 perhaps?

Zaxis 18th May 2026 12:11

Boeing 247?

Looks a bit like a Stinson Model A, but the German marks don't fit.

I will not be surprised if it is a screenshot of a movie with a not completly correct line-up.
I tried searching for Adolf Galland (AG) but no succes.

Bingo. A scene from the 1942 movie Desperate Journey.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desperate_Journey

It's seen again within a 'newsreel' shot in the recent 2025 Nuremberg movie. That's where I saw it.

Over to you Sandringham1.

I will announce open house while I search for something as equally obscure.

Damn!
