A merry chase indeed, and an interesting result.
Now I would NEVER even think to question my Liege, or Bruce, but I must admit to not being fully convinced.
At that time, the RNAS had two versions of the G W Type XV in service, both at, or having been at, Chingford.
The earlier type XV, which had no nacelle, and the later, ‘Type 1600’ version that had a nacelle. It seems likely to me that these would have been referred to as the ‘G W pusher’ and the ‘G W nacelle pusher’ as an easy way to distinguish the two variants.
I also wonder about the photo posted by Bruno identified as 3156. I thought all type XVs acquired by the RNAS after 1600 followed that pattern. When I get home I’ll pull the books again.
As for the Challenge machine, a question, Is the original photo as posted with no (visible to me) national markings?
