Please help with this. I think it is a DH.87 Hornet Moth. The problem is that it carries a Turkish flag on the tail, but there is absolutely no indication in Turkish civil or military aviation that such a plane ever went to Turkey. the number 101 does not appear in any Turkish files!
As a price for helping I am enclosing a picture of the Turkish operated Miles Aerovan TC-BIS.
Both pictures have been supplied by Stuart Kline who has published a book about Turkish aviation.

I’d plump that it is a DH.87B Hornet Moth.

This is just a wild sugestion, but are you sure that’s a Turkish flag and not the flag of Pakistan? The angle of the crescent moon should be different for the Pakistan flag, I know, but it would be easy for a foreign (British?) painter to get wrong, the only other difference being the different background colour which you can’t see in a halftone (B/W) image.
