You could have told me that I had the right manufacturer!
But it seems that he indeed filed a patent for the invention of the ailerons.
Which led to a substantial claim.
Not clear if the Pusher biplane is the same as the Red Bird II

Since it is Open House, what's this? These are screen shots from the Rotodyne documentary that I just posted. There's a view of a slotted wing and a silhouette. The fin and rudder shadow seems somewhat "Miles-like".

I did wonder when you mentioned slotted wing.
At first I thought they might be very crude vortex generators.
Do you know the answer or are you just trying to find out ?
edit: it looks as if it may have a radial engine.

Slotted wings
some text at the bottom:
example Lockheed Hudson. But the Hudson has slots in 2-2-1 line-up
not 1-3. Silhouet is also not right.

I'll vote for treadigraph.
The tipsy was prone to wing drop at the stall caused by reduced downwash at the tips due to its' pointed tips and no washout.
The slots reduced this tendency as did the later wing with washout.
I don't think the Monospar had wing slots.
Here's the Tipsy wing and the slots exactly match those in the unknown image by I42.
Since I42 doesn't know either would anyone suggest what we do now ?

The camera ship was most likely this example:
Owned by Fairey throughout the 1950s and used at White Waltham by their flying club.
