Neat, basically a biplane equivalent of the wining Bristol Bombay, right down to the twin fins.

Thank you my dear Cluttonfred.
 
Has anyone seen a copy of spec. C26/31? Some sources say that it requested that the aircraft should be a monoplane. Certainly all the prototypes (3) were monoplanes

Thanks, but the question is what, exactly, the specification requested. Did the Air Ministry state that the aircraft should be a monoplane or did they simply say monoplane preferred?
 
I don't have a source for the actual text of the specifications. If anyone does have that info it would be a great resource, especially if available online.
