Popular Flying in 1935

Can anyone help identify the aircraft featured on the cover of the April 1935 edition of Popular Flying magazine. It's titled 'Speeding Up' and shows a white twin engined bi-plane tri-fin taildragger just off the ground at a grass field. The tricycle undercarrige has closely spatted tail and main wheels, with the latter being mounted directly onto the lower mainplane. It says Imperial Airways on the side and has 4 large, square passenger windows. The pilots sit at the top of the fuselage in a mutli-paned enclosed cockpit. The nose has a definate DH look to it (in my opinion anyway) and has a light fitted into the tip, very much like that of the DH Comet.

I recieved this framed front cover recently and would very much like to learn more about the aricraft featured. Any help would be greatly appreciated
