From the "Vickers Aircraft since 1908" CF Andrews-EB Morgan /Putnam 1988

Chapter : Vickers Types 1920-1963: Type 246 : G4/31 monoplane (Pegasus IIIM3)

                                                     Type 253 : G4/31 biplane (Pegasus IIM3)

                                                   

                          page 497. no drawing numbers. both planes constructed as prototype .


but there is more..

from page 295 :

Vickers wrote up project designs data arround three separate paper aircraft. (November 1931 to spec.G.4/31)

The first was a  low wing monoplane with open cockpits and trousered fixed undercarriage

and a Pegasus IM3 engine mounted in a pointed streamlined nose.

The second wa a similar monoplane but with Rolls Royce Kestrel IIIMS water-cooled engine

mounted in a pointed nose with underslung radiator.

And the third was for a wide-span Pegasus engined biplane ,reminiscent of the earlier Vespa, and again with

a trousered undercarriage.
