Question time # 180 revisited.

Question time # 180 revisited.

A  break from tradition this time.

This aircraft has not been on the NZ Civil Register.

The photograph was not taken in NZ.

The pic was taken some years ago.
Second and give away clue.
Oops - did I forget to mention that the pic was upside down ?

So all I need now is the aircraft type and a possible identity.

We already know that the pic was taken in colder climes.


Can you tell me that aircraft type ?

Can you suggest where the photograph may have been taken ?

Maybe you can suggest an individual identity for this aircraft ?

Get three out of three and win the chocolate fish.

 Below are the 5 comments from original posting.
  1. An Eastern bloc aircraft.Baffles suggest a colder climate type ..A twin ?

    Not eastern bloc.

    Colder climate correct - hence baffles.

    Twin - No.

    Cheers

      It's not the obvious? NZ6010/6001 cleverly trimmed to hide the lettering and black lip on the cowl..

    Yes indeed - the very same pic.

    I just had to remove the wing and the ski tip rope thingi and turn the pic upside down.

    I think it is the only photo I have seen of "Our Beaver" with louvres fitted.
