evansb's challenge
larssnowpharter. Your wild guess might not be far off the mark as it could possibly be the Martinsyde F4 Buzzard.
However, apart from some oversea sales I can find no record of the aircraft on the civilian register. Am I correct in thinking this was a fighter aircraft?
The Martinsyde F4 Buzzard was developed as a powerful and fast biplane fighter for the Royal Air Force (RAF), but the end of the First World War led to the abandonment of large-scale production. Less than 400 were eventually produced, with many exported. Of particular note was the Buzzard's high speed, being one of the very fastest aircraft developed during WWI.

Sorry mates. Not a fighter. Peru was the only export customer to my knowledge. The manufacturer has not yet been mentioned. A total of twenty examples were built.

The type sank a U-Boat during WW.I. You have control. (The previous challenge was also a Kangaroo)

I have to confess I wouldn`t have got round to considering the Blackburn so soon without the Peru reference.
Here goes.. (The Radio installation in the challenge aircraft is a Standard ATR4 weighing in at a very respectable 78lbs..

Thanks Keith, it was the shape of the lower panel that clued me in. This probably won't last too long! I checked and it is NOT on the list as having been done before. I'm suprised.
