The "hump" is the original, re-purposed with a modicum of putty

Leading Observer:
The Gimlet was the Gloster Aircraft Company's submission for an Advanced Trainer for the Royal Air Force. The aircraft depicted is the first production model on its delivery to the  Aeroplane and Armament Experimental Establishment (A&AEE) at RAF Martlesham Heath in early 1938. As  delivery was made during the very brief 4 month period in which Oswald Mosley's British Union of Fascists had gained control of the Conservative Party and appointed Mosley as Prime Minister, the aircraft bears the Lightning Flash Roundel which the BUF introduced on assuming power, but on the removal of Mosley and his supporters in the Revolt of the Quiet Men in the summer of 1938, these were soon replaced by the standard RAF roundel.

Why start with a G.50, when the British already had the Gloster F.5/34?
