Merganser
Got it nicely in one Kitbag.
The precursor of the Prince/Sea Prince/Pembroke/President family, the story was that the Merganser was so underpowered it had to be flown with all the passenger seats removed.
Over to you.

Reading the spec list, right of drawing leads me to suspect the a/c might be French? Or could possibly be a 'red herring' Ummmm

a bunch of fyffes
Close enough!
The Aero 2D had a Gypsy Major. This is apparently a 2F with the Walter Mikron ( I was tempted to put in the 2C which had open cockpits like a Miles Magister).
As I've hogged it a bit today, would anybody else like to put up a challenge?

It's the Britten Sheriff, uncompleted prototype was at East Midland Aeropark last I heard. I presume John Britten's untimely death led to the project becoming moribund.
