Bottom left makes me think of a bikini malfunction.

Lockdown getting to you? Personally I prefer a pink tutu for zoom calls.

Is anybody still trying for this one?
No messages from some of the regulars.
Two correct submissions and four near misses.
Need more pictures, more time, or should I call it to a halt?

[PeteP]

Well, "too much information" or not, it's got me beaten.

Meanwhile, still a chance for late entries.

[PeteP]

Ah, of course, thanks Mike - got it now.

Does anyone else recognise it now?
Oh, what a merry chase the Spotters were on this time!
Keith (Dev One) led the pack, followed by Peter W (MilesMan), who finished the pack.
Gentlemen, your diamond awards, congratulations
I think that given the limited number, we can stretch to one each
Keith...Peter...
Eric, Den, Allan, Mick and PeteP came up with some inventive interpretations, which only goes to illustrate the similarities between different aircraft.
The pictures lacked clarity, having come from a 1940s recognition book.
Thanks to all participants.
Check out images of the following similar contenders:
Boulton Paul Balliol;
Caudron Cyclone;
Avro Athena;
Miles Kestrel;
Curtiss P40;
Miles Messenger;
Fairey Fulmar.

Hawker Henley III. I have to confess to being completely ignorant of the aircraft.
Ah well, we live and learn.

p.s. just done a quick google search and there are load of photos of this plane. From the posted image I couldn't determine exactly what role the aircraft fulfilled and from there couldn't narrow my search.
Anyway, that's my excuse.

The Bikini malfunction is the folded undercarriage I presume?
