OK let's go for some clues

- my name mentions a ruminant running across the bush of my country
- I am neither from the Americas nor Europe, as for the latter, I broadly and boldly thing of an area stretching from the Atlantic to the Pacific, so you can discard anything from Holly Russia.

Let me start by saying your clues are quite possibly even harder then the photo. Which really means nothing, as I have not cracked it yet.

But with your second "clue" you mention it is not from the Americas, but that is borders both the atlantic and the pacific. Can I assume from this you mean South Africa, not Canada?

[brianw999]

I think he means that he defines Europe as stretching from the UK eastwards to the Pacific. A bit wide ranging, that is !

Murphy Moose ?

Courtesy of the Russian Federation, Europe actually stretches from the British Isles to the Pacific

Can I assume from this you mean South Africa

YES - YES - YES, you located the country of manufacture You cracked it

AM.3CM Bosbok ?

[brianw999]

No it's not...I think it's the C4M Kudu ?

[uy707]

No, but think of this one flying on STEROIDS a locally designed derivative

AL-60F-5 TrojanBut that's an AAermacchi version for South Africa ?

or

Bop DF T-320. Version of the Pilatus TurboPorter

[uy707]

You somewhat got it by offering AL-60, the magic alpha-numeric combination opening the box .... I far I can remember, the Trojan is the NA-28
Exact type is an Atlas AL-60C-4M Kudu, more than an AAermacchi version and named upon a mighty antelope roaming across the Veld, South Africa's famed open spaces, the Kudu was developped by Atlas Aircraft, now part of Denel

YES - YES - YES, you located the country of manufacture You cracked it

Well well well, a little geography lesson is required I think...
South Africa only borders with the Southern Atlantic in Western Direction and the Indian Ocean in Eastern Direction, technically there is no Pacific at all, because this little buddy is located from around the Eastern Coast of the Malayan Archipel and the Western Coast of the American Continent.
