Is anybody still trying for this one?
No messages from some of the regulars.
Two correct submissions and four near misses.
Need more pictures, more time, or should I call it to a halt?

Does anyone else recognise it now?
Oh, what a merry chase the Spotters were on this time!
Keith (Dev One) led the pack, followed by Peter W (MilesMan), who finished the pack.
Gentlemen, your diamond awards, congratulations :)
I think that given the limited number, we can stretch to one each :agree:

Eric, Den, Allan, Mick and PeteP came up with some inventive interpretations, which only goes to illustrate the similarities between different aircraft.
The pictures lacked clarity, having come from a 1940s recognition book.
Thanks to all participants. :thumbsup:
Check out images of the following similar contenders:
Boulton Paul Balliol;
Caudron Cyclone;
Avro Athena;

Hawker Henley III. I have to confess to being completely ignorant of the aircraft.
Ah well, we live and learn. :$ :)

Mick Wood

p.s. just done a quick google search and there are load of photos of this plane. From the posted image I couldn't determine exactly what role the aircraft fulfilled and from there couldn't narrow my search.
Anyway, that's my excuse. ;) :)

The Bikini malfunction is the folded undercarriage I presume?
