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.

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.

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.
