The flying shot reproduced here, shows ’BUR whilst practising for the 1932 King’s Cup Air Race. It is notable as it shows the aircraft following an extensive (and hushed-up) rebuild at Brooklands prior to the race. This was necessitated by a forced landing (in Scotland I believe) in which the wing was severely damaged. As no works drawings were available, the wings of Hendy 302 G-AAVT were stripped and the structure copied in oder to get ’BUR back in one piece in time for the race.
