Name that Aircraft

[brianw999]

I would go for a Convair or a Junkers

But it really looks like the tin mans head form the wizard of oz

No, neither. But the Convair guess is around the right era. Late 50's - early 60's with occasional sightings in the 70's.

For some reason I'm thinking seaplane of some kind ?.....but you sure have picked a cracker this time. I haven't even got a clue where to start. !!

[RJP]

Not a seaplane.

It's role / function is unique.

Built in Europe.

No & yes, in that order.

120 were built and it was, apparently, exclusively used in a single different country to where built. Production stopped in the early 80's.
