Well, i'm going to leave it you all guessing for a few days. Just to give those who pride themselves in being able to name aircraft a chance to guess. Grin


One more clue. It was designed to give training in twin engine types.

Seeing the registration is the easiest way to cheat. You just go to a website, type it in and viola! So, i'm afraid that I won't be releasing the registration. Wink

A quick google check led to very few references, but it did lead to an interesting link:

http://www.jaapteeuwen.com/ww2aircraft/index.htm

There are quite a number of aircraft I never knew about ..  and not just the later R.S.3 of 1945
