cringe. WOW, I knew it would not take long, but 16 minutes, well done. I was quite expecting to see you come up with the solution to the last one.

Thanks, Mel. I remembered having seen that yoke shape before.

Starting clue for the next challenge: It was British.

Not a Vickers or amphibian. Neither from the '20s nor single-engined.

How about the Segrave Meteor built by Saunders Roe 1930 or the Blackburn Segrave B-1?

Not a Saro or a Blackburn. Foldable wings. Missing rudder pedals.

Nope, it's a twin. Only one example was built in the '30.

Ms Cringe, is it a predecessor of the GAL Monospar?

Edit: Maybe the ST-4 Monospar?

If it is a Monospar then it is more likely to be either the ST-11 or ST-12 which had the 130 h.p. De Havilland Gipsy Majors.

Sorry, not a Monospar or its predecessor. This one had Continental engines.

Wow cringe you do find them. Great Challenge.
This aircraft must be the Hordern-Richmond Autoplane. Powered by two 40 h.p. Continental A-40 engines built at Heston by the Heston Aircraft Company Ltd. Rudder control from the wheel on the control column. Only one aircraft built. G-AEOG.
