The Cub, taken at Portsmouth, New Hampshire on 6.5.A7, has an extremely indistinct registration. Charles Trask labelled the print NC15845 but this does not appear to have been a J-2 registration, the editorial magnifying glass and reference to the production list have suggested NC16955 or NC16958 as possibles!

By way of a postscript we have two photographs recently received from Gordon Riley of Vintage Aircraft magazine. They show G-AEXY (971) and G-AEXZ (997) when both aircraft were new and owned by the County Flying Club at Rearsby, this photo being taken during the winter of 1938/9 by V.H.Doree. Gordon comments that both Cubs were silver overall, one having blue trim and the other red, but does anyone know which was which?

The two photos illustrate the accident of 24.6.35 at Medellin, Colombia involving SACO Ford 5-AT registered F-31, the remains of which can be clearly seen in the lower photograph. This aircraft carried the world's leading tango singer Carlos Gardel, "The Native Thrush", who was perhaps the most popular singer in Latin America at the time. Through his death the accident made headlines all over the world. The upper photo shows the other end of the collision, the tailplane of SCADTA's Ford 5-AT "Manizales". It is the different, more triangular, shape of this fin and rudder which identify this aircraft as almost certainly c/n 5AT-112.

A photo of the only aircraft to be entirely designed and built in Uruguay, the Neybar N-1 CX-AGI. The design was inspired by an engineer, Fernando R.Barrandeguy, who was in 1945 under government contract to build roads and bridges at twelve different locations around the country. An aircraft would make inspection of these works much easier and, since it was impossible to obtain one, he decided to manufacture one. Barrandeguy made studies in the USA and solicited the aid of a mechanic, Dagoberte Moll. A 125hp Lycoming engine was imported for the basically wooden four-seater. Painted red, it first flew in 1947 and remained in regular, reliable service until 1965. Its name was derived from Neyelof, another engineer in Barrandeguy's company.
