01/31/2008. Remarks by Johan Visschedijk: "The Plover was designed by Harold Bolas to an Air Ministry specification for a deck-landing fighter and three prototypes were built. Powered by a 436 hp Bristol Jupiter IV engine the first flew in 1922. Only fourteen production aircraft were built by George Parnall & Co, N9610 being fitted (alike prototype N162) with wheeled floats. By 1924 the Plovers were replaced by the Flycatcher, built to the same specification."
