Airpron? Plorn? Poranes? Anyway, Armstrong-Siddeley Mongoose.

Where was this taken? I feel like I've seen that plane before.

Is that some kind of a Ryan?

It is a "Hawker Tomtit" according to Wikipedia.

Shuttleworth Collection - Old Warden airfield in Bedfordshire. Not sure they provide the planes to anyone else ever, but this Hawker Tomtit is flyable.

Must just have been a similar design then.

Still a bloody cool plane.

Can you imagine what an oil change would cost on that beast?

If I were a clever head of maintenance, I'd have service cycles done in stages. Say I had 8 crew, split them into groups of four, and have said groups of four do time-costly maintenance like oil changes on given quads of engines. If the oil needs changing any less frequently than once per 3 flights, do outboard four, midboard four, inboard four in rotation, giving the crew off-cycles with their group to do general checkup.

As to cost, as those are large but not staggeringly huge engines, a 55gal drum split 12 ways makes for four+ gallons an engine - probably not too far off. Basically, an entire barrel+ of oil every time you do all twelve.
