We have also been busy collating Aero material and this publicity photo from 1956 when Leonides engine production was at its peak poses the question – can you identify this plane?
I’m reliably told that the aircraft depicted with the TD.21 is a Miles/Hanley Page Marathon. One example was a flying test-bed, having Armstrong Siddeley Mamba turboprop engines and later fitted with Alvis Leonides radials. There is much about it to be found on the internet (ie: Wikipedia).
Whilst I am no expert, I think the plane is a Percival Pembroke. The Marathon was four engined as opposed to the twin engined example illustrated.
I am no expert either, but looking at the photos on the internet (particularly the shape of the canopy) it looks more like the Handley Page than the Percival. Wikipedia does mention that a twin-engined prototype Marathon was produced, but it is not clear whether that was the test-bed in which Leonides engines were later fitted.
