Nope, not a Blackburn either. Time for another clue
Sticking with planes again:
1) This plane was the basis for several that followed by a well known manufacturer
2) This plane was faster than anything else previously built but was used in rolls that didn't require speed
3) It was in service, in it's home country, for eight years, longer than any of the planes that succeeded it, from the same manufacturer, over the next three decades
4) This plane was flown by six countries (this is a correction as my initial source was found to be in error)
5) This plane scored the only "kill" of any plane type built by this manufacturer during the time it was operational
6) Unlike everything that followed, this plane had a crew of two.
7) This plane used a single radial engine
8) This plane had an "unusual" design feature for it's day that was later adopted by most manufacturers
9) The one "kill" this plane had was when it was being flown by a country's military other than it's country of manufacture
10) This plane was armed with two 30 caliber machine guns and a 100lb bomb under the fuselage
11) Only 116 planes were built with 52 of those being built in another country
12) This plane had a top speed of 207MPH, service ceiling of 22,100ft and a range of 685 miles
13) This plane was the first to use a second "new" design feature by the home country's military
Good Luck
