I read years ago in Francillion's book on the Vietnam air war the French flew Oscars and a Rufe and acquired a few other Japanese aircraft. Looks too small for Topsy - but wiki says they did use Hickory.

It's not really a case of big brain, more detective work. The mystery plane was obviously preserved, the trees and people sitting outside sort of said SE Asia or tropics, the roundel under the wing was Thai Air Force or similar. Google Venezuelan and Thai airplane museums and troll through loads of images to find one that looks similar. Then try to work out which of the various names and designations associated with those images is the correct one. Choose the wrong one, post reply then decide that was not quite right, choose again and edit the post hoping it's correct this time. Having spare time helps a lot and the ambition to beat Noyade helped also. So can anyone beat Noyade on this one ........?
