LET'S GET THIS STRAIGHT! NO ONE IS CLAIMING THIS IS A GW XV 
As to the GW "nacelle" Pusher no one
knows what the author had in his mind at the time. As I said earler
[quote]Marlowe refers to this machine as the Graham-White "Nacelle" Pusher. On Page 258 Bruce refers to these machines and what is and isn't known about them. He then says:

"Unfortunately it is not possible to isolate the history of this Grahame-White pusher plane, for surviving records do not identify it specifically."

Despite this 'lack of surviving records' Bruce obviously has some record of it or why mention it? Also Bruce is talking here of the RFC. As to the RNAS Sturtivant - Royal Navy aircraft serials and units 1911-1919 isn't complete either as I found out when going through the log books of both Dallas and Little aircraft used in training seemed a very interesting hodge-podge. The aircraft Dallas soloed on was identified only by its old racing number (109) and wasn't apparently never allocated an RNAS serial.

At the moment the evidence (I feel) leans more towards an HF 27 but I also believe there is still enough of a doubt to leave it uncalled.

So how about we leave it at that and move on.....
I believe it's your challenge Flamingo.
