I'd say that's a bristol pegasus engine judging by the struts infront of each cylinder.

 

Mercury had these as well, though. They were both similar outside, and both are equally possible for early war Mediterranean theater of ops (Swordfishes, Blenheims, Wellingtons, Sunderlands...).

 

Post these photos on Key Publishing forums, historical section. The chaps out there will narrow it down better than anyone could over here :D.

Looks like a Bristol Pegasus to me: Could be anything from a DC2 or Wellington all the way to even some Ju52 models....

indeed, but I believe we had a few here at Exeter than ran with a few mossies ( they were a secret project) they were here with spits to protect part of Portsmouth and this area, and they had changes to the props, with the outlets above it still looks swordfishy to me but its hard really to tell from the pic.

there is so much stuff you find while wandering on hols eh :)

 

to add to that maybe its too far away from here for that prop?
