    Could be Arthur Wignall Pitts S2A reg EI-BKA

    However his might have been the "Harp" one. I'm open to correction though.

    Arthur's Pitts was painted in the Harp livery.

    Can't remember seeing a Guinness sponsored biplane :confused:

    Sure if there was ever a B-Plane in Guinness colours the mighty Google would be able to produce a pic, but no, not even they can
