Aircraft no.2 in my line up. This one should be easier but still a small challenge.

Both wrong. I can only say that your right about the country of origin. Wink

The "K" on the tail isn't much help, either...

How about a hint - is it from one of the "normal" manufacturers, or a specialty builder?

(That tail looks awfully Hawker or Boulton-Paulish)

They are a normal well known manufacturer. It is also a fighter.

Excellent. Well done Felix & Woody. Wink

Unfortunately Woody told me what it was but I don't think I would have got this one.

Nobody's mentioned it but this is an unusual design. The engine is mounted behind the pilot, driving the prop via an extension shaft - similar to the Bell Airacobra. The pilot sits in front of the engine & the upper wing leading edge which would give much better visibility compared with conventional biplanes.
