Hello MR.

The engine isn't American and nor is the aeroplane.

Two 0.303" Vickers guns.

SPA engine.

I believe it is the biplane fighter named the MVT Marchetti Vickers-Terni.

You believe correctly MR.

Over to you.

Thanks dook. Good challenge. I was surprised it was a fighter with what appeared to be very fragile interplane striurs.
Here is the next but much easier one;-

I can't make out if it's a mono or sequi.

I've answered my own question.

Watch it Dook,
if you don’t state make and type yourselves somebody is gonna steel it from you.....

It certainly is. You have control dook.

Cheers MR. There had to be a reason the tail was cropped.

That looks to be a little beast of a machine.

Raising the tail on the takeoff roll is gonna put the prop awfully close to the ground?

Russian perhaps???

Not Russian I'm afraid.

Judging by the comment by MReyn I think he knows the answer.

It's almost like an Aeronca C.2 configuration-wise. I have no clue beyond that I'm afraid.

Former Warsaw Pact country.

Bulgaria possibly

Not Bulgaria - keep going......
