Narrative:
Due to aircraft that I was flying had no radio, I was using a transceiver. I did not hear or see an aircraft on final. I did a simulated engine failure with student which led to a tight left base. As I turned final, I saw an small aircraft below, coming up on bottom of runway 24 at plymouth airport. I did give position reports on transceiver.
