No, not a Hornet, no royal implication.

Ah, that was to quick, am I allowed another go ?

Tick VG, indeed it was the Airspeed Queen Wasp.

Not like the Oxford though, the Queen Wasp was a single radial engine biplane, only 7 built and was a radio controlled target aircraft.

Thank's, you are a Gent.

I flew during the war but was never used operationally.

Do you mean never used operationally at all, or just not during the war?
If so, my guess is the DH Hornet...
If not, err, well...

Thanks

Here we go (and, to please Mr BEagle, I tried to make it reasonably esoteric )

I was the climax and the (almost) last branch of a very old family.
