Thanks

@Aktung are you sure you got that 6000 miles right at 172° south?? From Africa this would be Antarctica
By now I would have bet it was a brazilian island

ok just guessing: São Tomé scops owl (Otus hartlaubi) ?

south of Canaries it could be the Capverde islands, but nope, not 172 degrees. edit again: should be very close to Africa if this 172 course is correct. This makes it an african island. But Aktung said not african. Hmm.
Further away Santa Helena is not portuguese, language is english. I do not find other lusophone islands ..

i give up ... waiting for Jim.

Not otis Hartlaubi but you're in the right area...that's 6633 kilometer not miles; and an island, not on a continent, as Jimbuna had inquired.

It is indeed the newly discovered Principe scops-owl, or Otus bikegila, it is named after Ceciliano “Bikegila” do Bom Jesus, a local parrot harvester turned conservationist and nature guide who alerted researchers to the species' existence and who captured birds for study.

^ thanks but
This reminded me once again to thoroughly read the hints ...
From kilometers to miles, to positions given, and courses

I will have something new this evening, sry for the delay.

I am not sure about cooling oil – could also be water cooling – but oil may well be.
Hint: not only a nacelle, it is also the fuselage.

Not a turboprop.

umm ok, was it so easy? Google image search found nothing when i tried for a test

It is the 'Belphégor', project started before WW2 but ony tried out after the war. Plane built for extreme altitudes, but it did not suceed. Engine used was just of all from a Heinkel 177, there was a lot of material left after the war.
