Id have to agree with Tail and others  regarding the rudders, definitely DH.
But why have all the bits got to be off one plane ?
Bits lying about the airfield/workshop may have been from different donors. ( now ive fully read all posts................... yes i agree with those who have posted the exact same ideas     before me       oops )

It is possible that the aircraft had a hard landing and some bits were salvageable. But if the aircraft was the last operational plane of that model at that field, then the CO may have given consent for the boys to play.

I think it looks fantastic!  Is that Heath Robinson at the wheel?
I note that there's no reverse gear.
