Sorry for the delay.
Bri has published a photograph of the aircraft at Post# 4247 above . Could we have a name or manufacturer and type for it?

Not a Supermarine Seal. Not a seaplane or flying boat. The mystery aircraft served the RAF for only a few years.

Sycamore is correct. The Fairey Hendon, first flow with an open-cockpit, later models were enclosed.
You have control.

For some reason I can't help thinking of the Hendon everytime I see an A10.
