G'day Trevor. Yeah, right, sure, sure, whatever you say.

The front engine looks odd to me. I was thinking Boeing 80 or Keystone of something. Is it from the USA?

Or French?

G'day Graeme,

Well, it is very obviously a tri-motor, so that narrows the field

Is it from the USA?

Or French?
Neither of those two, which narrows it even more

Stab no more mate, you got it on the first attempt

Not a biplane, nor a helicopter It is indeed the Westland (IV) Wessex and powered by the Genet Major too for a bonus point! Well done!!

Noyade has control and goodnight
