Synopsis

This page shows two images of an aircraft. At the top of the page seen from the side and in the bottom and middle of the page a plan view seen from above. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up. Both views have the front on the left and the tail on the right of the page.

The aircraft is shown in a flying position so the wheels are retracted and not shown. The aircraft in the top of the page has the propeller on the left with one blade pointing up and one pointing down. The nose cone is pale grey. Right from this is a rectangle which comprises six exhaust outlets.

Down and right from the exhaust is the tip of the wing pointing towards you. The front edge on the left has a cannon sticking out.

Up from the wing in the middle top of the fuselage is the cockpit cover shown as two windows. The centre of the fuselage has letters identifying which individual aircraft it is. There is also red and blue roundel indicating the plane belongs to the RAF. On the top edge of the fuselage there is an aerial sticking up. Right of this the fuselage continues to the vertical tail fin on the right. At base of the fin is the end of one of the tail wings. Right of this is a vertical flap. This is one of the ailerons used to manoeuvre the aircraft when it is flying.

The tail has a red rectangle and a blue rectangle separated by a white line indicating the plane belongs to the RAF. In the plan view image in the bottom and middle of the page the fuselage goes from left to right in the centre of the image. The main wings go up and down the page from the fuselage.

In the left of the page the propeller has one blade pointing up and one pointing down. The tip of the nose cone is pale grey. To the right of the propeller six exhaust outlets can be found on the top and bottom edge of the fuselage. Right of this are the wings. Each wing has two cannons mounted on the front edge. In the centre of each wing there is a red and blue roundel indicating the plane belongs to the RAF. On the right of each wing tip is a flap. These are two of the ailerons used to manoeuvre the aircraft when it is flying. In the centre of the fuselage between the wings is the cockpit shown as two windows.

The fuselage continues to the right ending in the tailplane. On the right of each tail wing is a flap. These are two more of the ailerons used to manoeuvre the aircraft when it is flying.
