What unusual planes in this movie?

The test plane was an Airspeed AS.6 Envoy. See:

I noted that odd biplane airliner that delivered Richardson to the factory was marked G-AENN. I looked it up and that was a De Havilland DH89A Dragon Rapide. A totally new airplane to me. That is I'm sure I'd seen then in other films but had no idea what the aircraft was called.

The small biplanes are of course the more common Tiger Moth.
