Another day another clue.

J Clarkson would call the constructors a bunch of cheese eating surrender monkeys.

Must be one of those two seat, armoured Air Tractor AT6xx that DEA wishfully thinks will stem the flow of cocaine.

Sorry, not an Air Tractor AT6, nor is it Columbia. The mystery aircraft is now available in an ethanol fuel version, although the version pictured burns avgas.

866 is correct. The Embraer EMB-201 Ipanema. First flown in 1970, over 1,000 have been produced in several versions. In this case, Ipanema refers to a large farm/coffee plantation district, not the beach in Rio. You have control.

Yes a DH.86A, or as the Players Cigarette card from which it was sourced describes it "Qantas Empire Airways . Bridge of Commonwealth Class Airliner".

Leader3, You have control.
