Anyone recognise the aircraft type?

Student's approach looked ok, if a bit fast at first, Then there may have been a slight baloon, or bounce at the end.

It looks like the instructor then took control for a touch-and-go/go-around and got airborne at such a low speed that he didn't have sufficient rudder/aileron authority to counteract the slipstream/torque reaction, and had to reduce power to regain control.

Then he found himself heading towards the trees at reduced power and low speed, stuck between either flying into the trrees, or losing control again by increasing power in an attempt to clear the trees
