AIRCRAFT (4) : PATHE NEWS AND ELSTREE AERONAUTICS

A link to the Pathe newsreel recording of the 1937 RAF Airshow at Hendon - but what aircraft appears so briefly at about 3.44, just after the prototype Spitfire [note1]? Could it perhaps be our own Elstree Aeronautics prototype, caught on contemporary camera?

See HERE

[Note 1] The first flight of the Spitfire was on 5th March 1936, but it was not introduced into service until 4th August 1938. The 1937 Hendon Airshow took place in May 1937.
