Wiki:
A design by Armstrong Whitworth not taken further Bristol Beaumont accepted but not built, led to Buckingham (q.v.)
I think Buttrick means Buckingham = y

Edit: so it's either type 161 or type 162 Beaumont, can't find plan view.
I now see that aviastar talks about a type 162 linked to spec B.2/41 and a "161 Beaumont"

anyway...
(note: these edits came after RR's post)

If I am correct then he is two hours ahead of the Prune clock.

Shops open at all hours there - I lived there for five years.

They all shut for prayer times.
