Don't know where to start on this except that it looks a US design, but note the modern buildings & PAPI's on the runway, the unusual blown windscreen & canopies & quality of the colour picture. Is it a museum piece rebuild & a 'one off' without a Prototype marking?
Intriguing.

This one is still around, Keith, and one of these days........
Well, the Aircraft of this splendid pic is (or was) a Northrop N3PB obviously of US origin but used mostly in the UK and Norway.
However whether this is a replica or a restoration it is not for me to say!
Cheers.....

"U (cn 320) Photographed in front of Hangar 4 at Reykjavík where it was displayed for a week on its way from Northrop in Hawthorne, California where it was beautifully restored to a pristine condition by veteran employees of Northrop. Many of them had worked on the N-3PB when all 24 were built for Norway in 1940-41. "
BG.The Northrop is a restoration. Nice eh?

Anybody got a spare pair of binoculars ??????
OK here comes a larger one....
BG
Thank you, BG. That's much better. What a splendidly uncompromising piece of aeronautical engineering that is.....
That lad standing near the prop really ought to be looking the other way !!
Can't resist an airliner! Focke-Wulf A29 anyone?
Hello Moses!
It's a Focke-Wulf but not an A29....cdheck again!
BG
It's an A 21 (woops -THE A21) - but I had it as an A 29 too until you corrected Moses ! Please would our Texan friend continue - I am currently glued to the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow which is proving to be a great competition in all disciplines - swim, athletics,etc and rugby sevens too. New Zealand v South Africa about to come up in the final - should be a killer.......
Yes Lefty it is the A21 ("Photomoewe")a real flying camera with fully equipped dark room.... enjoy the Commonwealth Games my friend and please Moses take over (you owe one to Lefty)....
BG
Oops, focked that one up.
Will take the charity with the heat (over 100 today).
I'm not sure but it reminds me of a Rheinland FR.2 "Schwalbe" with oversized spatted wheels.....

BG
Not a Rheinland. To be fair, most photos of this plane are without the oversized pants.
I think I have it: Caproni Ca113....
BG
PS I have a different story than Luftarchiv: it isn't a real "Beuteflugzeug" but on the contrary it was tried in 1936 in Essen (during the honeymoon Mussolini/Hitler) and given a german registration D-IVOL. Whether it was later interned or impounded thus becoming a "Beuteflugzeug" I don't know!
