  1. Ooooh is it the Short Knuckleduster?

    Quote

    The Short R.24/31 (or Short S.18 and nicknamed the Knuckleduster) was a British twin-engined, high-wing cantilever gull winged monoplane flying-boat designed and built by Short to Air Ministry specification R.24/31 for a "General Purpose Open Sea Patrol Flying Boat". The contract also specified the use of the experimental Rolls-Royce Goshawk engine.[1] The Saunders-Roe London and the Supermarine Stranraer competed successfully for this contract.

    We went to every one of these airshows at West Malling.

    Great memories! I distinctly remember sitting on the grass waiting for the show to start asking how long it'll be as an impatient nipper, probably throwing around one of these.

    About an hour, you said... Felt like a lifetime.
