Yep, it's French - but without looking it up, I can't remember the bl**dy title!
EDIT: Fairly sure it's from the Sud-Aviation stable too, before the Caravelle, but still can't remember the designation. Maybe when I get back from the air show tomorrow, I might cheat slightly and look in one of my books - I couldn't possibly stoop so low to use 'Google'!

Sorry Capt. Vick, I have been searching and can find nothing that even remotely looks like that.

Actually looks like a Douglas...

I think specifically it is a C-54 or DC-4.

Sure, only one was made (as far as I know) and it evidently died in Mogadishu, Somalia...thought it may not have been called that at the time. (...and i may have spelled it wrong!)

A mess in any case... Catalina tail, Argosy twin fuse, B-17 undercarriage, Skyraider engine... I'm guessing a Douglas, Boeing or Lockheed headache.

It is a Vickers Viking. Might I suggest that you change captions before uploading your clues and since I had an unfair advantage that you post a new challenge
