What are they?

Good morning all,

I was recently lent this photo by a friend, and we are both struggling to identify the aircraft type(s). The only clue is that it is believed they may have been taken in Poland in 1939/40.

Over to you for identification please!

Thanks

Steve

Steve, where did this photo come from? I know someone who would be very interested in this pic as there is a book in preparation.

Neiuport (Gloster) Night hawks (known as Mars VI) Greek. They had 25 and were used as trainers after 1938.

Square wingtips would exclude any Gloster influence to me…

I’ve no idea but they look vaguely Gloster-ish to me. Any possibility thay are Gauntlets or maybe even Grebes though I’m not sure either type ever served in Poland
