Hai

During my inquiry of Martinsyde aeroplanes I found that two versions were exported to the USSR.
This were the F.4 and the F.16, ??? A two-seater with a bigger top wing???
Who can help me with, history of both types?
Which type was this F.16?
How and in which colors were thai painted?
Pictures?
Other interresting details?
Thanks
 
Andersson (Soviet Aircraft and Aviation) seems to be suggesting the the F.16 version may never have existed?

The Soviets received around 100 Martinsyde F.4s and although a two-seat variant was built and exported, it never received the designation F.16 by Martinsyde. It might have been a Soviet only designation. The two-seater received the official designations Type A or F.4A or F.6.
