I think you are correct but the engine cowling looks too tight around the engine.Quote:

At first glance an easy way to tell is Buffalo has horiz stab on top of vertical stab , Caribou horiz stab is on lower half, also the gull wings (like a ju87) of the Caribou are a dead giveawayQuote:

Nope it's a bog std radial caribou. Engine nacelles and 3 bladed props are definitely P&W radial.
As a school kid we went through Hawkers at Bankstown and at the time they had the contract for engine maintenance/overhaul on the P&W Wasp used in the Caribou.
I remember the inlet and exhaust valves were big :D

they were slow, we left singapore on the "last" official gooney bird flight about an hour after a caribou and we caught up and passed it in loose formation well before we arrived at Butterworth
