I would love to say that it was a Typhoon wing...been trying to track any wings down for years now. Looking at the left hand wing I would say that Cees is right and that it is a Hawkers design...the single vertical main spar attachment is typical to the Hurricane and Typhoon. I am sure that the wing itself is too straight for a Typhoon...about 1/3 way down the wing it should start to bend up!!!! Looks thick enough to be Typhoon aswell.
With all these points my best guess would be Hurricane...but e-mail me if it is Typhoon!!!
