The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

I go for the Bacon T-6S also known as the Super T-6.
World famous in the LAX area and I was privileged to see the bird in alive
(when I was young). Developed from (you guess...) by the Erle L.Bacon Corporation, flown 1957 and registered N66J. Wonder what happened to this aircraft.
 
I love pigs, but I am addicted to bacon. Smoked, maple-cured, Ayrshire, Wiltshire, free-range Gloucester Old Spot.......

Well done, Wout.
 
This Just In...

A thread over at WIX said the Bacon was languishing on the ramp at Whiteman Airpark, Los Angeles. Last seen in a faux Soviet cammo scheme, I located it on Google Earth. Date of photo is 2004. The satellite imagery is from Oct 2007.
 
Moses03, thanks for the info on the Bacon T-6S. Possibly I saw it at Whiteman in the 1980s, but I seem i remember it was another (small) airport
which was closed shortly afterward (had nothing to do with my visit). Nice to see the aircraft apparently is still around.

Sorry for the grainy picture of the new one. I will settle for the original (planned) designation and for the real designation. Just one tip, it it postwar
 
Well it's got lots of de Schelde and Diepen-Difoga about it, but I think we're going to have to wait until the Texan Twin-Boom Tycoon swings into action later.
 
Worked up a good sweat but didn't hit on anything. Probably European but has some USA feel to it as well.
 
Moses03 and Lefty, this ttbppfg is European, but no influence from the low lands. The company that initially was involved was also responsible for a a small flying boat (trainer, postwar) and a US amphibian twin built with indigenous engines.
 
Well the only company that fits your last clues is S.C.A.N., but I can't find this little blighter anywhere.
