Question Twinmotor?

Hi,

Although of poor quality, these pictures are interesting to my eyes...
What kind of twinmotor aircraft appears on some of these pictures? Not the DC2 looking like one (?) but the other one (bottom left pictures).

Thank you very much Von Lutz!
A pretty rare bird indeed, apparently... never heard of this plane before.
Unfortunately the pics do not reveal much about the aircraft appearance and identity.
Regards,

Re: Twinmotor?

Hi
If you can find a Putnam book"German Aircraft of the 2nd World War" by J R Smith and Anthony Kay, there is a better photo on p9 of D-ERCQ, a Go 150 Sporting Aircraft. The only difference to what Richard posted is that it says it was powered by 2x 50hp Zundapp Z-092 Engines
Regards
Dick

Nice!
Many thanks for those precisions and web-links, Richard and Dick.
Truly interesting to learn about this little known Gothas plane.
