No, but both Supermarine and Bristol did put proposals in for the same tender.

Boulton Paul?
Thats the one...so going to go for the model now?

Just found reference and the same 3-view on another website which suggested 7 manufactures and 9 models! Anyway, you know the maker, so the next step should be pretty easy?? And yes apparently it is referenced in one of the Tony Butler books.

Edit to say...sorry LM, saw your reference to Supermarine but missed the model no....yes the Supermarine 316 was indeed one of the contenders.

P.90 This was designed to Specification B.12/36 which prodused the Stirling, and was powered by four RR Kestrel KV26 engines.

Boulton Paul P90 it is.

Both LM and Noyade's guesses came in at the same time (1156) but I have LM as being there first, so sorry Graeme, although you got the manufacturer I must give it to David who correctly identified the model before you.

LM has control.

Nope again.

One day an english bloke was driving aroung the backblocks of
Sydney, when he saw a little girl in the paddock next to
him. With the little girl was a gigantic bull, that was
preparing to gore the little girl

The Pom took action. He slammed on the brakes of his car, jumped
out, ran over and jumped the barbed wire fence, grabbed the bull
by it's horns, flipped it over and broke it's back.

An Aussie reporter saw the whole thing, and after the bull was
dead (not being aware that the guy was english) he rushed over
to congratulate him.

"That was absolutly bloody fantastic mate! It'll make front page
news, just give me your details,"

So the Pom gives him his details. A day later he buys the
newspaper and looks at the headline. It reads POMMY BASTARD
KILLS CHILDS PET.
