 Following on from Lou and Fraser.

This shouldn't take too long to identify.

Few hours work post Christmas.

I originally though Corsair but the wings don't fit. More research is in order.

A type of Curtiss-Wright?

Boomerang


Close and closer.

Curtiss - Wright CW-21.

An interesting aeroplane. Used by the Dutch in the East Indies. No armour plating or self sealing tanks.

Eighty years since Singapore, Hong Kong, Java and Darwin.

Decals printed. Still need to get a good copy of some side numbers.

Cheers
