Mel's Challange
Thank you Mel. A process of elimination rather than skill, I'm afraid. After, the usual suspects had been eliminated (Gloster, Hawker, Fairey) little was left that would fit the category. It was a difficult time for purveyors of military flying machines and I think only a few Scimitars were produced.
One thing that struck me as strange about it was the position of what I assumed was the gun button; you would need a double jointed thumb to work that!
