More good guesses, but still no cigar.....I won't say which ones, but a couple of guesses (one for each aircraft) have been on the right track.

.....is also the correct answer SirWhiskers [:)]

A squadron of Skuas sunk the light cruiser Konigsberg off Norway in April 1940. (Incidentally, the Skua was the first Fleet Air Arm aircraft to knock down a German plane in WWII). The aircraft developed from her design was the Blackburn Roc....
