Yes SincoTC,
At the time my family ran a flying club at Biggin Hill and I enjoyed many fun weekends in the summer away at air displays/air races as a child. Halcyon days!

Thanks Trevor, interesting aircraft. I understand the aircraft entered Soviet production in 1937 as the BSh-1 but the armour fitted for the ground attack role resulted in inadequate performance and production was stopped after 31 aircraft. They were redesignated PS-43 and transferred to Aeroflot, who used them as high speed transports until the Germany invasion in 1941, when they were returned to the Air Force who used them for liaison purposes.
Sorry folks, will have to be open house

Agaricus bisporus has it. It was manufactured as a Slingsby T.31 tandem training glider as used by the RAF Air Cadets for many years (I have over 1,000 launches in them). When disposed of by the RAF in the 1980's some were converted into a single seat ultralight aircraft, the T31M by homebuilders.
An original T.31, this one in the Southampton museum of aviation. You know you are old when the glider you went solo in is in a museum!

Electric cockpit so fairly recent, no HUD, so maybe a basic trainer, no obvious prop so a jet, looking at the rest of the building, maybe a mockup, and from the West
