GIVING GOOD SERVICE: This Junkers of Brooklands Airways is one of the hardest worked machines. It is always off abroad or on long journeys to the North. It is not surprising that people like travelling in it as it is one of the most quiet and comfortable cabin aircraft.
Brooklands Airways Junkers F.13 was actually sold to Sweden in 12.34.

A Parnall Elf, almost certainly the Elf I G-AAFH flying without marks in 1929. The reason for its significance is of course that 1980 saw the successful rebuilding and flight of the second and only remaining Elf G-AAIN at Old Warden.

Looking at the cover photo on Archive no.2, Phil Butler is quite certain that no building such as the one behind G-AEKL ever existed at Speke. This leads us to the conclusion that the photo must have been taken at Gravesend prior to the naming ceremony at Speke as the aircraft was damaged and pilot Campbell Black killed in a ground collision there. By chance we have unearthed the above photos of G-AEKL showing variations in colour scheme before and after the event at Speke. Here, at Hatfield again on 10.9.37 before winning the King's Cup at the then record speed of 233.7 mph.

The Airspeed Envoy Series III G-AENA Gabrielle in October 1936, ready for the Portsmouth to Johannesburg race.
The Airspeed Envoy III is normally powered by two Siddeley Cheetah engines of 350 h.p. each, but other makes can be fitted if desired.
G-AENA was in fact the first A.S.6J Envoy III with internal long-range tanks and Cheetah IX engines beneath the distinctive cowlings. It was named "Gabrielle" by its two owners who entered it for the Schlesinger Race from Portsmouth to Johannesburg.
