windriver - Not the Vickers Supermarine Scapa nor the Blackburn Iris.
Kitbag - Not the Saro London.
This aircraft was not a Supermarine,Saro or Blackburn aircraft.
That must narrow the field, watch out for the man from Canada who could steal it(just joking)

That is the one
The Short R.24/31 (Knuckleduster).
The story is that the wing/nacelle joint was known as the 'knuckle' and the fact the aircraft never had any official name the aircraft was nicknamed the "Knuckleduster".
Only three prototypes were built, the role for which this aircraft was built was eventually filled by both the Sar London and Supermarine Stranraer biplanes.
You have control

The Incivil Beast sneaks in and snatches victory from Windriver. This cockpit is from a Mirage F1CZ that was shot down over Angola in 1987 and was subsequently rebuilt as a basic Flight Simulator. The photo was taken shortly after the crash.
