Excuse my n00bness, but I can't seem to figure out how to comment or reply on the pages themselves as I've seen some others do. I'm reading Flies East right now and jotting down notes on the aircraft for modelling purposes. If something relevant comes up to help refine the wiki page for that book I thought it would be best to post it there.

You'll probably find that most people that are discussing Biggles stories are doing so via forum (https://bigglesforum.net/forum/) or on Facebook (https://m.facebook.com/groups/666456723534883/) but I look forward to some discussions on here with very knowledgeable people. The best way to generate more chat would be to ask more questions about details in the books.
Cheers,

That is 100% what Stead drew. Great find! I had no idea the S43 came in a twin tail version. I thought it was a WEJ-ism. I built a model of this using the S-43 kit and cloned the tail in resin to match the cover art.
Where are you getting that it looks like an S6? The original cover illustrations show what is basically a monoplane version of the Fairey Swordfish and the frontispiece definitely shows something radial engined.
