Pictured at Hendon in the summer of 1919 is the first aeroplane in Britain, and possibly the world, to receive a civil registration. The K- system of registration was used for just one month from May 1919, beginning with K-100 and ending with K-175. K-100 was allocated to the D.H.6 seen here being started with the aid of a Hucks starter. Generally flown at Hendon by Capt Gerald Gathergood, the D.H.6 was re-registered G-EAAB when the new system was introduced on July 22, 1919.

In the foreground is BAT F.K.23 Bantam K-155, later G-EAFN, carrying the racing number 5. This and other Bantams were raced at Hendon weekends during 1919, Cyril Turner invariably flying K-155, which was owned by the British Aerial Transport Company Ltd. K-155's registration was allowed to lapse in June 1920. The engine was a 170h.p. ABC Wasp. Behind K-155 may he seen another Bantam, this time a Grahame-White G.W.E.6A Bantam, registered K-153, later G-EAFL. The 20ft span biplane was powered by an 80 h.p. le Rhone rotary.
