Yes, it's the Hunting Percival P.74, and not just a project but a real prototype, although
it never flew. The "loaned " testpilots from Fairey tried once to take-off with it and
then left Hunting alone with theis machine, as is told by Derek Wood ..
The model is an enlarged version, sorry, no designation at the moment.
