Nord NC.701 Martinet? French-built Siebel S.204, not sure when it was built, and in any case I think I'm really dredging for it Cringe!

Is it the SAI/KZ air ambulance jobbie - (is that where you were heading Jabberwok?). Can't remember the number but it looked a little like a Percival Q6.

Correct, treadigraph. A Danish SAI KZ-IV it was (only two built). This one flew the Swedish diplomat Folke Bernadotte to Germany, where he negotiated the release of prisoners from concentration camps.

Lovely looking aeroplane!
All due acknowledgements to Jabberwok who pushed me in the right direction and whose thunder I probably stole!
As usual I have no pics to offer, so anybody else please feel free!

Sorry to deviate for a moment off the thread but you wrote sometime ago.
Perhaps it was here you saw it?
I have been doing some digging into old copies of Aeroplane Monthly and in December 1986 and Part 5 of an article entitled "The Basketweave Bomber" was published concerning the development the Wellington. This Part covered the Marks V and VI. The following pictures were published with the article. It can be seen that they incorrectly include a picture of the rear view of the instrument panel fitted to the Type 432 "Tin Mossie". When one compares this view with the one on the next page of the control column it certainly isnt a Mk VI

I'll put something up later.
