Re: Challenge 169
Is it something twin engined like a Grumman Albatross?
Re: Challenge 169
Nope !! further clue soon.
There is no paralell in warfare, to such courage and determination in the face of danger, over so long a period. Such devotion, should never be forgotten.
Re: Challenge 169
OK came to this one a bit late looking at the previous posts.
Took a bit of digging had to be a twin or a single engine mounted above the cockpit as the air intake and exhaust are on the top of the cowling.
Think I have got there in the end
Is it a Fairchild 91 Baby Clipper?

Well done to Cliff for getting this one. It is indeed a Fairchild 91. Only four were built, and the one pictured was the only one to see service, with the RAF in Egypt.
