I was going to say he looks like one of the VR 'addicted' artwork of Simon Stalenhag - The electric state.

The plane in the background has a 3 bladed prop so it can't be the Bu-181, though the fuselage shape is similar. Also if you look close you can see the prop hub is up at the top of the nose and the nose is not round like it would be of it were a radial engine so it can't be the Fokker or any radial engine.
Paul it may be either of those aircraft, it's obviously a test environment so they may have been testing a different prop engine arrangement.
Paul, what may appear as a prop blade could very well be the open door on a Bu-181 Bestmann.
Postwar but nice!

Didn't a few of these attack Von Ryans express at the end, just near the border?
@Brokeneagle, you might be thinking of the Bf-108 Taifuns seen here. Click to see movie:
Bestmanns were used in The Great Escape though:
