Thanks to an excellent friend of mine, this 1930s warbird has just been exported to Spain after a few years in storage in the UK. It will be restored to static condisiton.

I'll let you guess what is is.

I thought it would have been more difficult than that to identify.

Yes, Romeo Ro 37 that were used quite extensively during the spanish civil war.
