not too difficult
A Fairey Spearfish, methinks.
Indeed it is! Back to you.
How about this chunky chappie ?
Looks a bit Percival-ish, but cannot remember them doing anything like that!

Folland 43/37?Originally Posted by lefty
Yes, the Folland flying engine testbed, in this case fitted with the Sabre II lump.
Over to Kansas........
Best photo I have yet seen of the Folland, thanks Lefty.
Very sporty...

A Caudron of some sort?
Hello Naki. Not a Caudron.
How about an Irbitis I-12 ?
Yes Lefty, I-12 it is. :ernae:
Back to Scotland.
Well, may I return the compliment by saying that is by far the sharpest photo of the Latvian Irbitis that I have seen anywhere !
Another low wing mono of the fresh-air variety......
Heston T.1/37
Yessir. Actually it is also sometimes listed as the JA.3, T 1/37 being the Ministry spec.
Funnily enough before seeing the reply my guess was a Heston design, but no particular knowledge of same... Presumably a Maggie competitor...
Keith
I couldn't remember the JA.3 designation - thanks!
Up next......
Looks like a Liberty powered Loening at first glance. Hmm...
This is a one-off from 1922. Not American. Not European. Can't say for sure what's under the cowling as I can't find specs anywhere.
Must be the Fiat powered Fukunaga Tenryu 10 Passenger Transport.:isadizzy:
It must be.
After you crossed off USA and Europe, Japan seemed the nearest match and there it was on page 86 of Putnam's Japanese Aircraft 1910-1941.
Next mystery-
I've got to get a copy of Putnam's one of these days....sigh<SIGH>
