The ill-fated G-EBMQ in Lancashire Aero Club colours at Woodford between mid-1932 and mid-1934. The photo can be dated by the presence of Tutors G-AARZ and G-ABZP in the hangar behind the Moth.

We are reminded by a photograph from Mr.G.Terry that before the LV-P.. series came into use there were other instances of delivery marks being used. His photo shows Avro York LV-XGO c/n 1355 before delivery to Flota Aerea Mercante Argentina in 1946. On arrival it became LV-AFY and was later to be Surrey Flying Services G-AMGM. Does any reader know whether the registration LV-XGD was one of a temporary series or was the York simply ordered by the Argentine Government, the proper users of this block, and handed over to the airline after delivery? The airline titles are, incidentally, clearly visible on the original print.

The well-known D.H.87 Hornet Moth which is now in production again, provides exceptionally comfortable transport for two people and their luggage.
A fine pre-war shot of Hornet Moth G-ADMT which survived until 1960 when it was wfu, passing eventually to the Strathallan Collection and happily it is currently under rebuild at Hamble.

There simply was not room in ARCHIVE No.1 for all the available material but to prove that you can't keep a good photo down here is Monospar G-AEDY - from the UK C of A section where other examples are also to be found in this edition.

This superb air-to-air shot of Heston Phoenix G-AEHJ shows off the type's advanced aerodynamic features well. G-AEHJ was damaged beyond repair in 1939.

Campbell Black's tragic Miss Liverpool. The absence of spinners is unfortunate from aesthetic and aerodynamic viewpoints.
Included in the U.K. C of A Applications feature in this edition is Mew Gull G-AEKL. The photograph appears to have been taken at Speke where the aircraft was named "Miss Liverpool I" on 19.9.36.

Four Pobjoy engines powered the Scion Senior which, like the Scion, was fitted with wheels or floats.
The new Short Scion Senior with four Pobjoy Niagara engines appeared at Hatfield for the first time as a landplane.

S.A.B.E.N.A.'s LATEST: The Savoia-Marchetti S.73 being demonstrated near Croydon. At the time when this picture was taken by a Flight photographer the machine was carrying most of this country's aviation correspondents!
SABENA's first Italian-built Savoia S.73 OO-AGL which is said to have been I-SIAI originally (confirmation required!). It is seen here on an early flight in the vicinity of Croydon on 2.4.35 in a cream and brown colour scheme.

Reference to the Impressment Review will show that G-AAJW was a Moth - but this clearly is not! So, what is it and why does it wear those marks?
The aircraft wearing G-AAJW is of course the Metal Martlet which should have been painted G-ABJW but having already been corrected once (it was first painted as G-AAII) it managed to retain these marks for the remainder of its short career.

From the same manufacturer, the one-off Hendy 281 Hobo G-AAIG is seen here at Hanworth where it was based with the owner Lord Patrick Crichton-Stuart, Feltham.

Another mystery Moth photograph for the experts to identify. This machine appears to have a Cirrus I engine but clearly has acquired a DH.60X style undercarriage. The addition of slots on the upper wing leading edges leads the Editor to believe that it may in fact be the first RAF Moth J8030, c/n 233, now let's have your ideas!

The Hendy 302 G-AAVT in what appears to be the later 302A configuration with inverted Cirrus Hermes IV.
G-AAVT Hendy 302. Photo shows the aircraft in its original form with upright engine (low mounted air-screw), green & cream colour scheme and no spats. The later, lower, cowling gave the aircraft a more Percival Gull-like appearance.

One of the B.A. Double Eagles entered has Gipsy Sixes (Series I) and the other Gipsy Majors. The more powerful version should do 190 m.p.h.
Double Eagle G-AEIN had its original C of A Application dated 12.5.36 but by 13.5.41 only the airframe remained and this was impressed in July 1941 and used for instructional purposes.

Application for Cygnet G-AEMA was made on 7.4.36 and it first flew at Hanworth in May 1937 with a windscreen raked forward for raindrop removal. The photo (Flight no.14718s) shows it in interim form with rounded windscreen and was probably taken at Hanworth late in 1937.

The view (General Aircraft, via Aeroplane Photo Supply collection/D.M. Hannah) shows the conversion to twin fin configuration and was taken at Hanworth in November 1938. The final variation, the adoption of a tricycle undercarriage, took place early in 1939.
