Not as impressive as a Battle with a Fairey Prince and contra-rotating prop but…
Best wishes Steve P
Which Horton Ollie?
Is this any use? Part of a shot of an Osprey by Charles Brown.
Reckon its a Swedish Osprey?

Mark,
I’m pretty sure that it’s a Vildebeeste/Vincent. The Putnams Vickers tome has a photo of an uncovered Vildebeeste and everything fits.
David,
Thanks for that. I’d love to see one. 😀
Oops. You posted while I was typing, David.
I think that the airframe in NZ is a Vincent.
Vickers Vildebeeste or Vincent?
Westland Welkin and Airspeed Oxford. Unfortunately, only for flightsim.
Two guns in the nose as well, just like a Sopwith Camel. 😮
Wasn’t an operational flight though.
Wasn’t the Vildebeeste/Vincent used against the Japanese? It had a forward firing gun so must have been a fighter. 🙂
Anyone for a static Albermarle?
Here’s a link to the Finnish copy:

I dont think so. I think I read that the remains of the last surviving Finnish one ended up in the US, much to the dismay of many Finns.
Sydney Cotton flew with the RNAS in WW1, and went on to develop PR techniques with the RAF at the start of WW2. He was certainly flying after the conflict ended.
Chuck Yeager wasn’t impressed when he test flew a captured MiG 15 in the 1950s.
I would imagine that Chuck Yeager could have been a tad biased.
