Looks like something from the Darmstadt line but not finding anything there.
You're barking up the right tree, Kevin.
Must be the D-22? I think the grainy photo fooled me.

Indeed it is. The first one, G-ABPX. Over to you, sir.
Not from Europe BG...
This company designed nearly a couple dozen aircraft but this was the only multi-engine design that flew. They had a trimotor in the works but was never completed.
I have only seen one other photo of this plane.
It was powered by two German Siemens-Halske radials which led to it's demise...
Thanks Moses. Thanks also for the generous clues.
Should be easy - from a recognition film...
Well....Googling for Australian recognition films there is one with an ID of F05021 for a Hudson III. Can't run the film though. Is that too easy to find?
I would have guessed Lockheed anyway, & always Hudson comes to mind, but knowing the curved ball thats thrown here from time to time....

Hi Keith.
Nice detective work Keith, but this aircraft was never used by the RAAF nor is it from the USA...
No, I was thinking Japanese, but couldn't find a Betty with twin tails. I'll settle for the dear old Armstrong Whitworth Albemarle ? (There's a wee kink in the horizontal tail surface leading edge which is a dead giveaway !)
Can't imagine very many ended up in Oz though.........
Thanks G - here's another easy twin -
Hi Lefty!
In spite of the Hakenkreuz this is a Hanriot H232/2.01....
Cheers
BG
PS Nice pic by the way!
Yes, BG, part of the huge assortment of junk inherited by the Germans...
One man's junk ....... !
And anyway, 'inherited' implies that either it was willingly given or legimately passed. Ask any Frenchman and I doubt that you'd find one who is d'accord.

Hi boys and girls!
after giggling over the last few posts let me submit following undoctored item:
BG
I've obviously struck a sensitive nerve here, so in the interests of Euro-harmony (Dave, Angela, are you listening ?) please substitute the term 'junk' with 'imaginatively designed Gallic flying apparatus'
(If necessary, you may substitute 'imaginatively' with 'whimsically', 'optimistically' or, quite often, 'bizarrely'.)
Hi BG.
Maybe a Danish trainer/reconnaissance aircraft - the Royal Army Aircraft Factory I O - based on the Fokker C.I?
