The wings appear to be fully attached in that video. The horizontal stabiliser does appear missing though.

There is also a NTSB report at

Looks awfully, well, British ...

There is a reason that a lot of Japanese aircraft look British and contain a lot of British design features and technology.

After WWI a large number of British aircraft and engine designers were out of work because the war to end all wars meant that the British government was not spending money on military aircraft. Many of the top designers took jobs lecturing at Japanese Universities and working in Japanese research facilities.

I took this picture on 25 October waiting for my flight to Bangkok. This was at Ubon Rachatani International AirPort. It's both civil and military aviation use.
I think that's a DeHaviland Buffalo

Great photo is there any restrictions when taking photos around a shared base in Thailand?

It is not a Buffalo but I do not know what it is. It reminds me of a CASA and one of the Fairchild freighters but I do not think it is either of them.

I agree, not a Buffalo. It is the Fairchild C-123B Provider c/n. 20024 of the RTAF.
