Not according to my brother who is a major aviation buff, he says: "Blackburn B-2 I would think (no sweepback to the wings, but otherwise superficially similar to a Tiger; seating was side-by-side). Importantly, there's one (the only one I believe) based at nearby Old Warden".

A quick google search for the registration revealed that it is, indeed, a 1936 Blackburn B.2 Series 1 C/N 6300/8. a very rate rare beastie, to say the least. It is owned by the Shuttleworth Collection, so in good hands.
All true and a nice rare biplane but I still think it was the Tiger captured above the Spit by Ewan as there was one on the ground during his visit. The Rudder on this plane doesn't match the profile of the plane above the Spit.
