Gents, sorry had to dash out but back now.
Had to investigate the engine LM as different power plants were used - as far as I can see none of the types you mentioned were fitted.
Not a PWS design, but it is European.

Good evening gents,
Welcome back from your travels skytrain
I think your challenge may be the Polish Meindl/van Nes A-VII (M7), powered by a Walter Radial ?

although of course its Austrian, not Polish! My source states the engine for this particular example as an Armstrong Siddeley GannetYour control Sinco.
A-S Genet,not Gannet....!

Thanks Ken,
Dunno why I typed Polish, bit of brain fade I guess!! I said Walter radial 'coz that's how I found it (Goggle Walter radial engine and check images) that site said it had a Walter NZ-80, but the illustration of that one looks more like a Genet cowling!
I'll be a short while as I haven't got one ready to go.
Ok here we go!

TC, I think yours is Gloster TC.33, designed to meet Air Ministry specification C.16/28, which required the ability to carry 30 troops and their equipment for 1,200 miles (1,930 km) and was the same specification that produced the Handley Page H.P.43 and the Vickers Type 163.
None of the C.16/28 contenders were awarded a production contract, and thus only the prototype was built.
If correct, OH, at least until tomorrow, because I am going to hit the sack
Nice challenge, was looking all around before UK….
Good night!

You're nearly there mate!
You need to paste the Direct link URL below (I grabbed it before you deleted the attempt) between the image placeholders ([img] and [/img]) as I mentioned in my tips the other day!

Copy this and just remove my round brackets,

buttrick, I checked you out, and your first post on this thread was on my gaff-rigged yawl last November. Given that, you cannot be all bad .
Welcome again to the crowd!

Perseverance pays off
I'm a bit puzzled by the apparent perspective; you can see a trace of the port wingtip and horizontal tailplane, but from that clue, which does match with the cockpits, I would expect to see more separation on the landing gear legs, which would need to be more "side-on" to merge like they appear!
Is it a Miles Hawk Major?
