And the WINNAH is karrank !!!
So it's your turn to start the next no-picture quiz.
But first - here's a picture of the Commodore. About 14 were built. Most served with the New York, Rio, Buenos Aires NYRBA airline which Trippe forced into PanAm. A point in their favor was long range. At least one survived well into WW2 if not later even though obsolete by then.

Whilst Karrank is thinking....... Here's a quick twist - I'm looking for an original G registration.
Designed as a light bomber for the Iraqi Air Force, the prototype first flew in 1932. My construction number was 6025 and I became the first "Royal Flight" aircraft, later owned by Lt Shuttleworth.
I was impressed into the RAAF during the war, worked in Papua New Guinea post war and ended my life in the 1950's as an aerial seeding aircraft in Queensland, Australia.
That has to be easy.

Ooops. Sorry. Where did those posts come from..... Hopeless Moderators!
LowNSlow. Not a Rapide but very close.
Karrank. Are you a British twin turboprop which originally flew two years earlier with four Alvis Leonides Major radial piston engines?

Woomera: I'm not a British twin turboprop which originally flew two years earlier with four Alvis Leonides Major radial piston engines, or (to be fair) any of those individual items...
