Try this one:

 

[Airframes]

Waco something or other - glider-based, with engines ?

 

[Capt. Vick]

Very good Terry! The one off...

 

[Airframes]

Wow!
Although I had a strong suspicion it was the Waco,but more of a guess really, I also had a feeling it might be French, although the engines, and more so the props, indicated more chance of it being American.
OK, try this one - the amount shown might make it easy, but ............

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

DeHavilland DH-90?

 

[Capt. Vick]

Oh shiney! Tiger Moth?

 

[Airframes]

Not a DH-90, Tiger Moth or any other of the 'Moth' family - but part of it looks very, very similar. The company concerned are better know for some, shall we say, less attractive designs !

 

[Capt. Vick]

English Electric?

 

[rochie]

English Electric?

Hey !

 

[Airframes]

Well it's English, but not electric !
And yeah - Hey!
Apart from fridges, E.E. made a couple of very attractive, very successful flame squirters !
Need a clue or 2 ?

 

[Capt. Vick]

A Blackburn product perhaps?

 

[Airframes]

Perhaps is correct Jim !

 

[Capt. Vick]

Blackburn Segrave?

 

[Airframes]

Not the Segrave - this has two of one item, but only one of the another item !

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Blackburn B-2.

 

[Airframes]

You got it Aaron !
It's the (very shiny!) Blackburn B-2, a side-by-side, 2 seat biplane, at the Shuttleworth Collection, Old Warden.
Here's the full pic, and a couple of general views.

 

[Capt. Vick]

It not a terrible looking airplane...sort of...

 

[Airframes]

By the standards we usually associate with the products from the Blackburn sheds, it's positively beautiful Jim !!

 

[Capt. Vick]

Yes, yes you are right Terry.
