The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

you have it! :icon29:

The caption says: The Tiger Moth T7438, c/n 83817, converted by Film Aviation Services Ltd. at Croydon in 1961 to represent a Fokker D.VII for the film "Lawrence of Arabia”.
 
I had the Orta a while ago in another aircraft mystery, so it immediately rang a bell.

Here is a more modern trainer.

Is it the Turkish MKEK-4 Ugur (which originated from the THK-15)?

Afterthought: maybe I should have put that the other way around, namely the THK-15 which, when in production, was known as the MKEK-4 Ugur.
 
Mike, the mystery was built far away from Turkey :very_drunk:

Only the prototypes had this engine, the later built aircraft had a very different one.
 
Mike from Scotland has it. :very_drunk:

It is the Wackett prototype with a Gipsy engine which made the plane look substantially different.
