The second and final Concordia, G-AKBE, seen at the 1947 SBAC Show at Radlett, was 5in longer than the prototype. Work on a further batch of six aircraft was suspended in November 1947 when customers failed to materialise.

With the second of the two Cunliffe-Owen Concordias, G-AKBE, in the background, work progresses on the first W.11 Air Horse prototype, VZ724, at Eastleigh in the spring of 1949. The extreme nose of the Air Horse’s fuselage could be opened, as seen here, to give access to the rear of the instrument panel and pilot’s controls.
