  • Регистрационный номер: F-AQOL, G-AEZU

    Monospar ST.25 Universal F-AQOL in the markings of the Forces Francaises de l'Atlantique in 1944 (official photo). This aircraft was c/n 67, G-AEZU allocated but ntu, supplied to E.C.Lavanselle 5.38. Can anyone fill in the gaps in its history and its ultimate fate? A sister aircraft F-AQOM c/n 87 was impressed by the RAF (twice!) and is better documented.

  • Регистрационный номер: G-AEFV

    The photo of Flying Flea G-AEFV unfortunately had to be cropped to save half this page. It shows the Flea in the Farnborough wind tunnel for testing on 13.8.36, the result of a number of fatal crashes of the type. Reference to A.J.Jackson's "British Civil Aircraft Vol.3", page 38 seems to imply that testing took place after the Goodall crash of 20.9.36, but this photo proves otherwise. Can anyone add to the story: were other Fleas also tested? When did the ban become effective? Did any continue flying? Come to think of it, how about an article on the pre-war Fleas somebody?
