Could it possibly be Russian. Such as IL-12?

You're both wide of the mark. Think big .

Could it be a Boeing Stratocruiser? :hmm:

Saunders-Roe Princess ?

Yes it's G-ALUN, sycamore wins!

Shackleton.....................

I think it's a Hastings.

Clint.

If it ain't an early Shack - then it's a York. (Perhaps.)

As Grubby says, Hastings.

Mr Grubby is correct. It is a Hastings. Flew in one as an air cadet at Lindholme and recently saw the one at Cosford. It was much larger than I had remembered.

Fairchild C-123 Provider...............

Nope.
Not a Provider.

Alright then - Fairchild C-119 Boxcar, almost identical part from the paint job.

Something for the weekend sir? ........and cringe.

Hey there forget - you weren't really trying to say that a C119 was practically identical to a C123 were you?

OK, that's stretching it somewhat - but I was referring to the picture - control yoke, throttle quadrant, centre instruments etc etc. Different glareshield (due perhaps to the different airframe) is the obvious giveaway.;)
