Renamed The Orphan, G-ACSS is seen at Croydon on March 26, 1938 at the end of Clouston's 26,500-mile flight from England to New Zealand and back, achieved in 10 days 21 hr. The aircraft's final public appearance would have been in that year's King's Cup race but, the day before, the Comet was damaged when it stalled during take-off from Hatfield and bent the port wing and aileron.
