Ah, looks like a Beaver, but isn't. So - Cessna, can't remember the number, but maybe 185 ? The tail dragger, forerunner of the 150 to 170 series, with the radial engine?
No bumps on the outside of the cowling so it's not the Cessna. Anyway, that would make it American, which was already ruled out. It has me stumped Gary!
The 185 was one of the flat engine aircraft, the 195 was the radial but it has the exhaust bulges around the engine cowl and no top scoop. I'm still lookin.
Terry is almost on the right tracks as its very similar to a Beaver. In fact its sometimes called a '?????? Beaver'. It looks like a Beaver from the front...but not the back !
Its been used by both civil and Military and first flew in 51 (love that No ! )
You got it dude, its a Max Holste Brussard...or the French Beaver !. Its distinguishing point is its tail feathers....bit like a Lancaster (but smaller !)
B*gg*r - should have known the Broussard -- we had one at my club, which had a failure of the prop CSU, resulting in a forced landing on the Motorway, which, regretablly, amputated the arm of a guy in a Citroen 2CV (OK, it was a gay car!).
And double b*gg*er, beating me to it with the type that Glenn Miller went 'missing' in, almost certainly hit by 'dumped' bombs over the Channel.
