Am I allowed to ask if the 'scalloping' is part of the aircraft fenestration or the hangar?

I think you will find it is part of the aircraft structure. The cockpit windows or fenestron are above it.

A Clue or two
Its been a few days and no questions asked. I will give a clue or two.


Only one was made and it saw 4 years service.
The engineer had a workbench with mounted vice for maintenance on the go.
It also had four 303 machine guns and an internal telephone system.
It also still holds a record today for its type.
