Alright, the promised specs...

"Westland Pterodactyl V (1934)


First flight:  May 1934 
Span:  14.22m/46ft 8ins 
Length:  6.96m/22ft 10ins
Max weight:  2,313kg/5,100lb 
Max level speed:  165knots/306kph 
Power plant:  One 600shp/447kW Rolls-Royce Goshawk 
Total built:  One

Such was the promise of the Pterodactyl demonstrations that an order was placed for a prototype capable of development into a fighter (Air Ministry Specification F 3/32). The Pterodactyl V incorporated many of the features demonstrated by the earlier aircraft plus provision for armament. Trials at Farnborough led to the conclusion that the tail-less configuration did not offer any significant improvement over conventional fighters then under development."
