Nope. It is a single-engine aircraft.

Vickers Wellesley

Wellesley it is. Sneaky cropping made it look like a twin.



Open house, then!

Hmm...peculiar how a person can post a reply to this forum, obviously from a computer, but does not have access to photos...

Anywho, here is the next challenge:

[Kitbag]

One of those mad Sikorsky Ilya Moromets things?

[evansb]

Sorry mate, not Russian.

[Kitbag]

How about those beautiful French Farman 220 series?

[evansb]

Sorry, not from France. Only one built.

[Kitbag]

Zeppelin-Staaken R IV?

Can you tell these are now wild guesses?

[evansb]

Not a Zeppelin-Straaken anything. The mystery aircraft is a twin-engine P&W radial powered death trap.

[Kitbag]

OK, I'm seeing post WW1 to mid '30s biplane, you say twin radials, all that glazong makes it a bomber, it was uniqie in a time of rife experimentation, likely from USA given engine type and was a death trap.

I'm stuffed for ideas right now

[evansb]

Not U.S. built nor designed. Not a bomber, but built to a military specification in the late 1920s. A sesquiplane of mostly wood and fabric construction, with some metal tubing and struts.

Canadian Vickers Velos..

OH if I am right.

[evansb]

Correct. The Canadian Vickers Velos was over-weight, too slow, and difficult to fly.

[Kitbag]

Good grief how did the pair of you find that fugly thing?
