Contemporary with the Gloster Gladiator, about a third of all produced were exported.

A bit more to see the giveaway cockpit:

Thanks, but....no, I'm still floundering with this one. So keep those "giveaway" clues coming mate - at your leisure of course.

Can I ask what task did the challenge aircraft perform?

It was the primary fighter of its countrys air arm. Armament was 1 cannon and 2 rifle calibre mgs. Fixed u/c. This hasn't appeared on this thread before.

French?
Dewoitine D-510 maybe? Although I can't find one with an external exhaust pipe like yours?
I think I was fixated with biplanes, but no struts around the cockpit - so it's a monoplane?

You are correct, it is the D 510:



Excellent perseverance- YHC

Ahhh, yes!.....I visited there and went straight past that photo! I enjoyed that - very clever cropping.

I have to run, but I'll leave you with this. Cheers mate!
