| Designed as a private venture, the Type 101 two-seat
fighter powered by a 450hp Bristol Jupiter VI ninecylinder
radial was of mixed construction, the fuselage
being a ply-covered spruce structure and the wings
being of steel with fabric skinning. Armament comprised
two synchronised 7.7mm Vickers
guns and a Scarff-mounted Lewis gun. Cleaner and
more compact than most contemporary aircraft in its
category, the Type 101, which was first flown on 27 July
1927, offered a relatively high performance, but was rejected
by the Air Ministry because of its use of wood. As
no other customers presented themselves, the prototype
served in the test bed role.
