step by step analysis...

Not a civil plane
Too large for a fighter, should be a bomber then
Name in the right lower corner isnt a contructor or design bureau

Anyway... its a Grigorovich TB-5, and it nearly crashed on one of its test flights

More info Here

Russian planes: IL-76 (all standard length ones), Tu-154 and Il-62, Tu-134 and An-24RV&&&&AI flightplans and repaints can be found here

You're very good Ivan! I just spent over 40 mins finding out what she was Roll Eyes

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

It's very similar to the Farman F.222. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farman_F.222

I'm seeing this a bit late, but my first thought was a
bomber version of the Fokker F.32 airliner..
