A.Ord-Hume - Broughton-Blayney Brawney and Perman Parasol /British pre-war ultralights/
The Perman Pou du Ciel, G-ADPX, built for F. W. Broughton, was one of eleven Fleas built by the company in their mews off the Grays Inn Road.
One of the Aero-8 club machines has a fuselage of unorthodox but pleasing appearance. The engine is a Douglas flat twin.
Bearing the same registration as the second Brawney, is a Mignet H.M.14 Pou du Ciel. The Pou's correct registration, G-AEFW, was applied later.
