I'd concur with Simon on this; that's definately a Bristol Hercules engine on the stbd nacelle, and the general layout looks the same as the Viking in High Ground Wrecks and Relics, albeit from a different angle.
The picture is taken from about ten feet behind where the starboard aileron would be, looking at the stbd nacelle, and seeing the port nacelle in the background. Apparently the fuselage burnt out, which is why it can't be seen.
