			 I thought the last one might be a Waco or a Fairchild so I Googled SU-ACO and discovered that it was a Waco SRE. |

			 Avro 626:  Tutors are only two seaters.  Initially sold for anti-hashish duties: some things don't change.  I wonder if the equipment under the wings is for spraying bad stuff or good stuff - as late as 1945/46 I suspect it is probably DDT. |

			 I'd say an Anson in the hangar. Note the engine cowls, cockpit glazing layout.
