Thanks Bri. This next one is not as simple as would at first appear.

Wow! It is ugly. Is it the Claude Maynard Greengrass [I]Alfred [I] Mk.I ?

Hi Mel.

The single-engined Ju-52?

Edit. Maybe not....?

. Certainly looks like that mutt, but this is not that beast. Are they still showing "Heartbeat" in Canada?

Graeme.

You are on the right lines but this aircraft did have three engines.

David.
Not the L.88 but the later Junkers Jumo 213.

The engine was installed in the nose position on Junkers Ju.52 Registration D-AMUY and the aircraft was used as a communications aircraft on the Eastern Front during the summer of 1942. The crew seen below consisted of three Junkers Employees and a Luftwaffe Pilot.



The accolade should really go to Graeme.

Yes, the serial Heartbeat, both old and newer episodes still airs in Canada.
I enjoyed it for the pristine Anglias, Humbers, Sunbeams and Rovers, but I must say bar maid Gina's (Tricia Penrose) dimples were quite fetching..

I enjoyed hearing the accents, idioms and slang from the colourful characters. i.e. Nick Berry playing bobby PC Nick Rowan, throwing a bloke in the nick for nicking a car that was in top nick.

Thanks Mel, but I'll have to make it Open House.

(Heartbeat continues to be aired during the daytime slot in Australia. Didn't "Nick", from memory, appear in an episode where he was transferred to Canada?)

Afternoon Mel,

A hasty lunchtime pot-shot!

Is that a GE CF34-10E turbofan on an Embraer E-Jet 190/195 ? (Glimpses of colour makes me think it might be a "****tyHopper" as they say in Amsterdam. or maybe FlyBe)

Was this a failed Schneider Trophy design?

Evening TheiC,

Sorry, not British and not particularly early!

Yes to all three sycamore!

Not fitted to earlier versions, this type of engine was chosen to enable the use of sub standard fuel.
