It entered service in 1933 and, powered by a supercharged Rolls-Royce Kestrel engine, it has a top speed of 184 mph, making it faster than most contemporary fighters.

At the age of 22, Suker only became a reserve during the tournament and had to wait until next year before recording his first appearance from two appearances, before the country broke out.
