Hmmmmm.....may have phrased that poorly. I meant to say it's very similar in appearance to the Boxcar.
But nothing from Fairchild.

Actually, I don't know what the hell I'm doing!
Apologies to all concerned - you boys were all on track.
For some reason I thought I got that from an article dealing with the Nord Noratlas.

Sorry Gary - you were spot on with the Boxcar on the previous page. Shot at by the Vietminh on April 23rd 1954.

Cheers mate!

Sorry Terry - didn't notice your post till now.
But now that I have - sadly no idea. Is it from WW2?

Not WW2, but it could easily be mistaken for a type from that period. It's got one engine, with a prop, and it's big .....

Hi Terry.
I've drawn a blank with British aircraft. European?
Gotta ask - is that the exhaust? Prop to the left?

It looks like it could be where the rudder meets the vertical stab

Yep, the results of a poppy drop. It was surprising just how far embedded the poppies were into the panels. We couldn't pull them out without opening the panels first/
