Thanks, I forgot to mention what is obvious, that you have the baton 

[BalDaddy]

Thanks, I'll have to pass it on for the moment.

I was looking to scan some pictures of bits of aircraft for identification taken by my wife's father when he was in Air Despatch in Aden and other places, but I can't find the damned album!

Well in that case, I take the baton
Guess this, it's non-fictional, clearly identifyable, un-edited pic (not even flipped sides) and has really flown as depicted:

Very strange. Looks like a scaled-down, but fattier AW Ensign with the fixed gear of a Short Scylla. Very well done Mike, I have not a faintest idea.

Bristol Bombay?

[P51vsFw190]

It’s either the Fokker F.XXII or the Fokker F.XXXVI. They were both used by the RAF and were similar in design but one was bigger so I am covering both bases.

[SAS~Storebror]

Fokker 36 is correct James (and Fokker 22 would have been accepted too, due to the virtually impossible discriminability on pictures like these).
Your turn 

Cheers

You may need to squint and I'm not sorry...........Sorry



Good Luck!

An-2, though why it had that cockpit there I have no idea

[P51vsFw190]

You are on the right track but I cannot give it to you because this plane has a specific designation different to An-2.

[SAS~Storebror]

this plane has a specific designation

I'm wondering which one you will come up with because the designation of this plane is all but specific.
It has at least three of them, depending on which source you quote.

Best regards - Mike
