Richard Nash’s Bleriot XXVII just after he crashed it at Brooklands on June 15, 1936. The accident received little publicity because on the same day the Vickers B.9/32, K4049, made its first flight from Brooklands in great secrecy. Nash escaped with a cut chin and the Bleriot survives in the RAF Museum at Hendon.
