Design and development


The Type 123 was a conventional biplane powered by a 400 hp (298 kW) Hispano-Suiza T52 (Hispano 12 Jb) engine, built at Weybridge Aerodrome in 1926. It was registered as G-EBNQ in February 1926[2] and first flew on 11 September 1926.[1] In 1927 it had a 480 hp (358 kW) Rolls-Royce F.XI engine fitted and was redesignated Type 141.[1] It competed unsuccessfully in an Air Ministry fighter procurement competition in January 1928.[1] It was then modified as a fleet fighter to meet Specification 21/26 and carried out trials on HMS Furious in June 1929.[1] Without winning any orders the aircraft was scrapped in 1930.[1]
