Looks like a DC3 or a Vickers Viking ? Cargo sized door anyway.

I'd agree with DC3 / C-47 based on the double door for cargo and it being situated right at the rear. Just enough room against that back wall for a jump master to stand on the opposite side of the open doors while the stick exits.

Perhaps a Lisunov Li-2? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisunov_Li-2

One of the diversions while studying engineering was hiding out in the university library reading history. One of the books that stuck with me had been presented to the library by the USSR Embassy, a history of "The Great Patriotic War". It was a real contrast to the books written in the other victorious countries (each with their own slants). On further thought - how do you define victory, surely there are only types and degrees of loss.

There is a main road the other side of the hedge behind, I say crane it out of there and donate 5k to a local charity!.
