First and last I think...
It's the Rearwin (later Commonwealth) Skyranger.
A/c portrayed in the photo is G-RWIN, manufactured in 1940.

skytrain10 has requested OH.

Engines typically Argus, probably one of the later V-8s The AS 401 or 402 which used the airdriven propeller pitch change system.

Another along the same lines of the previous one, not done before methinks.

RR it seems that Wikipedia is badly messed up /outdated re. Zlin and Morava, and the Z-20 does not appear anywhere there. Maybe it has fallen between the cracks, when Zlin was taken into government ("people") possession and Z-20 prototype was not "allowed" to go to production.
