Need help to identify twin engine plane

It looks very Beechcraft looking, possibly a SNB-2.

I am just going by the same type of windshield glass.

I have references that show Mexico had Beechcrafts C45’s.

Yes, “I am ready for the shooting down”

A couple of points. The main legs are not forked as on the Model 18 and the wing appears much thicker than the “18” also the firewalls are further forwards on the “18”. The “Funny” gives me the appearance of having had longer engines, ie the Ranger and the nacelles seem very close in to the fuselage. The only thing in my opinion that suggests Beech is the fin leading edge. Note also the curved fillet at the wing T/e root, not Beech. Just tuppence worth. But what about the plane in the forground, at first I thought Vought Corsair.

Looks very similar, but the glass is different and the nose seems different in the old photo.:confused:

Is this really such a rare example of an old twin that nobody has an idea? 🙁
Hope again there are some ideas around … 🙂

Thanks

The date is right for it possibly to be a product of Talleres Generales de Constructucciones Aeronauticas (later known as TGAM) known as the TTS-5 which was a six seat Mexican transport of 1947. Though that machine was, according to Gunston’s “World Encyclopaedia of A/c Mfrs”, powered by two 200 hp Ranger. I can’t make out from the photo if the engine mounts / wing / engine fairings suggest in line or radial powerplants had been fitted to the airframe depicted.

I do not have my references at hand, but could this be the Stinson twin that was later to be transformed into the successful Piper PA 23 Apache?

A bit of a long shot, I know, but maybe someone with their references at hand can check it?

I do not have a clue but this link has a little info

Is this such a huge mystery that nobody can solve?
But the hope dies last…

Hi Martin, beats me. Try the AWF?
