Possibly a 182, 192 or 195 which was the last subtype.

Well, we can try this and see how far it gets.

The Puss Moth similarity should be coincidence but in my opinion some other types by that designer also look like copies too. I can’t give the country as that would be too easy.

I don’t think it’s a warplane as such and I’m sure there are no cannon (but scratches)

My first and lingering thought is a Ju 34 with underwing codes and crosses all smudged by movement and a poor photo. Short nose ,Radial unequal taper wing and narrow tailplane. Note also how the rear fuselage top appears higher than the nose area. Just visible behind the t/e are cabin windows? Crucially ,Where did it come from?

John

There are no Miles auxilliary flaps so not a Messenger.

I have superimposed a rough Ju34 sketch.

There is one aeroplane which would fill most critera. Single engine, twin fins and striped wing. It’s the Swiss C3603 in Neutrality markings but I don’t think thats the one in the photo as the nose is too short. It will be interesting to know what the main content of the photo is for this to be in the background.

The most common Mks of Peggy (Mk XV111) for Wellingtons.1a,b,and c, V111 and CXV also Sunderland 11 and 111 all favour a ratio of 5.1. The Mk X pictured was also 5.1.
