Well done evansvb 
The challenge photo comes from a copy of Flight May 1939 and refers to it as the Reid And Sigrist Twin Engined Three Seater (Trainer)
No mention of Snargasher in the article... but it's such a great name I hope it's the same thing.
BTW... Mel sent me this....
"According to a short item in the September 1976 issue of Air International
the name "snargasher" was applied to the R.S.1 by the factory workers during its construction and had no meaning other than as a "family joke".
You have control

Another photograph of thr "Snargasher's" Instrument panel.
A J Jackson in his book "British Civil Aircraft 1919-1973 Vol III lists the aircraft as the Reid and Gigrist R.S.1 Snargasher.

ozbeowulf is correct Well done
Some consider his design as the world's first airliner. It was probably the first airliner in the western hemisphere. General Dolittle asked if he could use the Lawson C-2 to bomb a naval vessel for a demonstration of air power. You have control.

I think it is too big for an Aero 45 and the instruments look American to me.

Not the Airacuda. This aircraft came along a bit later.
If it helps, the aircraft was a military variant of a civilian design by a well-known manufacturer.
