  • Регистрационный номер: EI-AAZ   [2], G-AEPC   [2], NR190M   [2]

    The Bellanca EI-AAZ Irish Swoop running up its engine at RAF Mildenhall on the eve of the great MacRobertson race.
    Wikner also worked on race entry no.29 which was Bellanca 28-70 EI-AAZ c/n 902 "Irish Swoop". It is seen here at Mildenhall but it did not take part in the race because official load testing for the brand new aircraft had not been completed in time. The same aircraft, re-registered NR190M and flown by Jim Mollison, later broke the Trans-Atlantic record after which it became G-AEPC. The Bellanca was eventually destroyed during the Spanish Civil War.
