Hi David, presume we are looking at a biplane, pusher props mounted between the wings? 1920's or maybe WWI?

Hello Ken.

Bipe - engines between the wings - pushers behind the wings.

Circa 1916 - only got as far as two prototypes.

Would you like the country?

Maybe the engines would help...........

Just looking at this in between work....first thought British, (was thinking DH.3 fits the clues - but wings/tail wrong), but perhaps French?
