One source gives me as one manufacture, one other (the one talking about the bigger design) as another.
I'm not even sure that the two are the same, so the number of the spec is enough.
It can be found in a certain site displaying the work of an illustrator.
Mate got it!
Air Ministry Specification F.11/37.
Boulton Paul P.92 was cancelled, this one not even built.
Back to you!

OK guys, I'm off to bed shortly.
I am happy to offer an OH unless you want something to work on until the European morning.
Remember Noyade will pitch up soon.
What would you like?

So, it was not Bristol Type 153A 
If Graeme would have been around, he had cracked it in no time. He has dealt with the same challenge in 2008 in another forum

None whatsoever.
It's simply the balance between static directional and longitudinal stability.
OK gentlemen, it's getting late.
If you identify it without doubt please feel free to go ahead and post a new one.
Bis morgen.

I think it's American, late 40s or early 50s, inverted engine perhaps, something in the league of Culvers and the Mooney Mite.
I certainly won't start browsing Aerofiles now though.
Good hunt and good night Reg, see ya tomorrow!

Late in, had a busy day, so a quick look before bed!
I think it's the Superior Satellite of 1957
Found what looks like LM's picture (flipped of course) in Proberts Superior Satellite
Digging around in Aerofiles I find that it was a rebuild of the Culver PQ-8 target drone.
Open House if correct please as it's another hectic day ahead tomorrow; it looks like there was a good number of players today, but sad about Red4 and add my commiserations.

Good find, TC!
I was unsure about the engine, and in fact it turned out to be an horizontally opposed one, just like many others in that period, and I was a bit off with the date, but as for the rest...
