Default Can you id. this aircraft?



This is a quick sketch (blown up somewhat) of a plane which crossed our skies yesterday, heading in the direction of Coningsby.

It had 2 big noisy radial engines (the sound had me running outside) and looked like a 1930s airliner. It had a hump-backed look, rather like a Caudron 'Simoun' shape but was not a Caudron of any kind... if anything, it looked more like an 'Electra' but for the single broad tailfin. I'm pretty sure it's not a Boeing 247 either, because of the nose shape, but it might have been.

It was a cream colour overall with (I think) a narrow diagonal red band at the rear of the fuselage. I'm going to look at other books but does anyone know of a preserved airliner like this over here?
