At first sight I thought it was a dining room:-) Typical military, everything squared off on shipshape!

I can see that! I get the sense that this workshop was set up as a model and that actual workshops would have been somewhat less tidy.

Provincial Archives of Alberta I would have thought training for aircraft mechanics rather than workshop???? A real workshop would have been a lot less tidy, real work going on:-)

Yes, it probably was for training purposes. However, "workshop" is a good, broad, catch-all term in the absence of further information.

Hispano-Suiza V8, possibly Wright-Hispano.

yavor.dinkov Thank you! Is there any way to narrow it down to one type?

Provincial Archives of Alberta May be. There are several coded parts. Can You post the codes from a high-resolution picture? In this way identification can be confirmed. Otherwise, an exact combination of details can point to a specific model but there are many variants of this engine ... Regards, Yavor
