Some clues then...

It's a Pratt and Whitney R-1535-7 engine.
Circa 1936.
The aircraft is serving with the 118th Observation Squadron Guard.
Photographed in the maintenance hanger at Brainart Field, Hartford.

G'day Graeme,

Yes it is mate, well done :D

With the prominent twin banks of the engine and those "droopy moustache" exhaust pipes, 'tiz a real ugly bugger innit :)
