Spotted this on Ebay and thought I would see if anyone had any thoughts.

http://cgi.ebay.com/Antique-De-Havillan ... dZViewItem

Initial thought was Wright Gipsy but on closer look doesnt quite fit.
Has Bendix mags, Stromberg carb. The other things that throw me a bit are the cross flow head and splined shaft. Also what seems to be an oil filler? on the top of the case.

Open to suggestions......
