Bri you have it.. This one was reported to be the R-36 but the R-38 was essentially similar to the R-36 apart from having a 1030hp Rolls-Royce Merlin II engine in place of the 910hp Hispano-Suiza 12Ycrs 12-cylinder Vee-type liquid-cooled engine. Ironically the loss of the prototype on 17 January 1939 resulted in the programme being placed in abeyance and then dropped when the decision was taken to procure Hawker Hurricanes. In respect to oncemorealoft's post there was a connection with Hawkers but it was not a Hawker design
You have control.
