It is the radiator, Gentlemen. Shorts had done a lot of nautical work, and designed something based on steam condensors for the purpose. As long as any water was in it, the jacket around the cylinders would at least be where it would be found. It was not quite so solid as it looks in the model in real life at full size, but it did obscure view somewhat. One of the pilots in Iraq wrote that he would rather not, in such heat, be flying with the radiator in front of his face, but some of these were used for patrols over the North Sea, where I expect the wash of warmed air was welcome.

Perhaps if you read his memoir, Going Solo, you could be inspired to build it
