All!
having recently stumbled across this footage:
https://blogs.canterbury.ac.uk/cafa/empire-day-at-manston-1937/
I am stumped. What is the aircraft that appears from .08 to .16? It is an all silver monoplane, with the engines atop the wing.
it seems familiar but I cannot place it! Any help very much appreciated.
Also, fantastic footage and well worth a watch.
Thanks,
Simon

Actually Beermat I think you’ll find it’s Amelia’s Lockheed.

Had to research this, recognised it but initially went down a blind alley called Armstrong Whitworth!
A survivor, blimey!

That was easier than the grainy Spanish picture!
As a bit of an aside, I was amazed to discover a few years back that a Cloud still survives (well at least the fuselage) in the Czech Republic:

I think it was a houseboat a la RAF Museum Southampton…

Think it might be a Saro Cloud?
Edit: pipped to the post!

SARO Cloud I believe.

Isn’t it a Supermarine Stranraer?
