  • Evocative photograph of Avro 504K G-EBVL, first owned by Lionel Bellairs and kept at Shoreham. Taken in June 1928, this photograph shows Lionel Hill and his mother about to take off from Shoreham for a flight to Bognor. The pilot was the great F. G. Miles, who landed the 504K in a field next to the seafront, much to the consternation of the locals. G-EBVL survived until its C of A expired in 1937.

  • The Martinsyde A.V.1 G-ABKH at Hanworth in 1932. The last of a couple of dozen or so British civil-registered 'Tinsydes, 'KH was a two-seater externally identical to the F.4A. The engine and airframe, though, were much modified by ’KH’s owner, C. Amherst Villiers - hence A.V.1. Initially the 300 h.p. Hispano-Suiza-powered biplane was kept at Brooklands, until sold to Brian Field in October 1932, when it was based at the owner’s private field at Kingswood Knoll in Surrey. The A.V.1’s distinctive two-tone blue colour scheme is shown clearly in these photographs. G-ABKH remained airworthy until February 5, 1933.
