This was a British Aircraft mid 30s

...my first post on here, so no laughing now!

How about a De Havilland D.H.84 Dragon?

C23

Welcome to the thread. Nobody will be laughing at all. Sorry but it is not a De Havilland D.H.84 Dragon. This particular aircraft was not so famous.
Mel

thanks MReyn24050. I'll have to put on my thinking cap. I'm a bit stumped at the mo'

C23

No problem C23. This was a very unique aircraft.

Bit doubtful about this, but is it the Boulton Paul P.64/P.71 Mailplane?

Sorry 682al
Not the Boulton Paul P.64/P.71 Mailplane. This aircraft was not a Biplane.
Mel

Saunders-Roe
A.27?

green granite

Not the Saunders-Roe A.27. This aircraft was not flying-boat or a seaplane.

I will add that unfortunately this aircraft had an unlucky ending.

Mel

Ok, time for a WAG. ANT-20 Maxim Gorkii. :D

No Pigboat this aircraft was British designed and built It first flew mid thirties.

Mel,

Time for another WAG. British, mid-30s, a one-off, with an unhappy ending..........

How about the Vickers type 271. Built I think, against the specification which resulted in the Wellington but a failure which had to be completely re-designed in order to become to become in a later guise the Wellington.

Any good?

BSD

No not the Vickers type 271. This aircraft featured a development of a revolutionary wing structure

However, you were correct in that the Vickers Type 271, the Prototype B9/32 K4049 and forerunner of the Wellington, met an unfortunate end when it crashed following the failure of the elevator horn balance during a test flight in April 1937. The pilot was thrown through the roof of the cockpit and escaped by parachute, but the flight engineer, unable to get free, was killed in the crash. The aeroplane was completely destroyed.

Mel

No sorry Mike not Miles Aircraft.
Mel

Mel,

My last attempt at this one - the Armstrong Whitworth AW 23. I think just a single aeroplane was built, it's wing being stressed skin with I think stainless steel spars/ribs.

It was a one-off which eventually became the Whitley.

Howzat?

If that's not it, then I'm truly stumped!

BSD

Not the AW 23. Spars or should I say a Spar does come into this, this aircraft possibly had a great future but unfortunately lady luck played a hand.
Mel

This one seems to be causing problems due to its uniqueness perhaps. Possibly this might help.
