Mystery Engine...

[Zimbo]

Hi guys,
I was wondering if anyone here can identify this engine. It belonged to my dad and uncle when they were kids but my dad can't remember exactly what it was. They bought it new in the 1960s and only ran it a couple of times. It has 'DC Ltd' stamped on both sides of the cylinder. My dad thinks it was either a DC Sabre or Spitfire but isn't sure. Apparently when it was new it had a small plastic tank on the back.
Thanks,
Paul

Your dad's right, it's certainly a Davies Charlton and without knowing the real size, it's hard to say which.
