Well, I thought this would go fairly quickly some 250 viewers but only Bri with a possible. No, sorry Bri it is not the RWD-16 nor was it powered by a Walter Micron engine. It was a British aircraft and had a Blackburn Cirrus Minor engine. It was also a rarity.

This is clearly turning into one of Mel's "easiest" challenges yet!
Question: Did the company that produced the mystery aeroplane also produce aircraft during WW.II ?

Mel, I've exhausted my sources for your challenge. Surely some chap with an attic full of dusty Aeroplane Monthly magazines will eventually come up with an answer, alas, it won't be me. Now, back to the Avia Quiz...

Sorry S'land it is not the Aero Research Snark.

Sorry about that Bri, the answer could also be found in the Putnam Volumes of British Civil Aircraft.

windriver, yes we can rule out out General Aircraft & Miles. This aircraft was the only aircraft the company built.
To recap it was British and was built around 1937 it was a one off and had a unique feature regarding the construction of the wing. It was powered by a Blackburn Cirrus Minor engine.

For Bri's benefit the Deekay Knight article starts on p276 of Aeroplane Monthly May 1977 ( and includes the quiz piccie)
