Sorry about that - it was done in haste in an attempt to keep the flow going. If you could post again the ref to the list so far I'll check back and see what I can find. In the meantime may I suggest "any other takers...?"

How about the SE5A? Possibly a replica without the normal control column and triggers.

You have it Bri.
It is the Bristol Bloodhound.
The Bristol Type 84 Bloodhound turned down by the Ministry in favour of the DeHavilland Dormouse nevertheless went on to prove the worthiness of the Jupiter engine.
The Bloodhound prototype returned to Filton for overhaul, it received civil registration and to prove the strength of the airframe but more particularly the reliability of Fedden's engine two Imperial Airways pilots Col F F Minchin and Capt F L Barnard flew the aircraft from Croydon to Filton with the engine sealed. From January 4th until the 8th March 1926 they logged 25,074 miles in 225 hours and 45 minutes. The engine ran faultlessly throughout and Imperial Airways to prove its hot weather ability flew G-EBGG from Croydon to Cairo and back, taking 56 hours for the 5,400 mile trip. They had a few problems with desert landing strips but again none with the airframe or the engine. The Jupiter engine went on to become the most used engine of any manufacturer. The aircraft was later used to test the geared Jupiter VIII using a four balde propellor until finally scrapped in 1931.

Thanks Mel. Unusual photo you posted, quite rare I would imagine. I was uncertain if it was a Bloodhound because a book I have said it had two forward firing guns, and a web site said it had only one forward firing gun. The forshortening of the photo makes the wing appear very short.
Here is the next challenge:

Sorry, not a Bolkow. This aircraft was designed in the 1960s, but serial production didn't commence until the 1970s, where just over 80 examples were produced.
