Moses03, hope the tequila tastes!. Origin of this twin is Mexico.
It is the Lascurain Model 4 Aura (XB-ZEU). Design by Mr. Angel Lascurain y Osio. First flight Febr. 1957, lost later the same year.
wingspan 68.241ft, length 40.092ft, height 14.747ft.
max. speed 134 mph, cruise 124 mph, range 497 miles.

Right now my PC refuses any co-op so cannot upload new picture.
Suggest Moses03 takes turn after sobering up.

Of all things, there is some color footage of the Aura at youtube:

[Moses03]

PC works again. My stupidity, but easier to blame the computer.

Staying with twins. Although picture looks somewhat of that of a model, its a real aircraft. Four prototypes were built, but no production.

My first post in this thread despite reading it every day, but that looks very Piper-ish to me. The nose and engine nacelles look very similar to the Twin Comanche but the cabin and tail don't look like any Piper I've seen.

Well against my better judgment I entered the world of GA aircraft (I'm not going to make a habit of this) and came up with the Simmering-Graz-Pauker M-222 Flamingo.

The later prototypes were modified to look even more like a Cessna/Piper. (Yawns..........)

Lefty is correct . One of the first SGP-222s built by Austrian company of Simmering-=Graz-Pauker AG.

Thanks Wout. Here's another twin, but it is no Cessna !

PS Kevin - another supermarket trolley undercarriage !

De Havilland Canada/Defense Research Board (Canada) modified Otter, usually known as STOL Otter. This was the second configuration with the two PT6A engines. Initially flown with the more standard P&W R1340 radial engine.

[lefty]

Yup.

Sorry but a twin again. However, from an older shoebox found in the basement.

(better include the photo, sorry)

[lefty]

I thought all the grainy old pics were stored in a Texas basement.............

[Moses03]

You have a proper photo of the twin wout? Not that it would help much as I can say right off I haven't a clue. Something post-war France maybe...
