There used to be two that lived at Biggin Hill many many moons ago - I prefered the straight tail version - It was basically a Twin Bonanza with a
cabin fuselage attached---

Curious where photo was taken - and when

Late 70s, on an airport near water. Presuming the UK, Brough seems a possibility, or maybe Liverpool...

As for the date, sadly I believe AB910 was in 92 Sqn codes for the best part of 20 years, although the font did change in the 1970s. I suspect this photo dates from the mid 70s to the early 80s.

Leif was first, but also, even the Navajo Chieftain doesn't have a cabin that tall, even without the geared Continentals. :)
