All in good fun mate - sleep well.

Yours looks like there is a gun-sight on the dash mate? Some sort of fighter-bomber-patrol aircraft from WW2?
Twin?

Cheers.

Good Morning Trevor,

I think it must be a Fiat CR.25 cockpit?

Open House if correct.

GA Hotspur.

Probably a MkII given the Instructor instrumentation - it could be a III but one can not tell without seeing the fin.

OH.

Yes, it is a General Aircraft G.A.L. 48 Hotspur assault glider. The troops are Canadian Airborne.

Too bad it is "open house" again..

G'day Mel.

Is Sycamore on the right track mate, a 'smallish' 4-engine aircraft?

Several possibilities, (nearly a dozen), but I think it is the Hawker Nimrod.
