A view from a French source of DH.60X Moth G-EBTG in which Lady Bailey flew to the Cape in 1928 arriving on 30.4.28 and returning to Croydon 16.1.29. It is annotated GB-Cape 1928 on the back but where was it taken and when? The populace appear to be warmly clad (for winter?) and the ground is either snow or sand covered. Can anyone help?
The photo of Lady Bailey and G-EBTG was identified by Vic Smith (nice to meet you at the AGM!) as being taken at Croydon on 16.1.29 on her return from the Cape. After nine days delay in Paris and Berck-sur-Mer through fog, the sudden heavy snowfall of that morning in London must have seemed the last straw.

"D-ESEL" displayed at Berlin has been identified as Bucker built Bu 181C-2 c/n 501659 which was captured by British forces 5.45 and carried RAF serial VN787. There is still an obvious gap in its history between 1946 and the 1980s. Keith Palmer comments that all RAF Bestmann are believed to have been handed over to the French Government for flying club use, in which case it was probably given a "new" FR-..? c/n and an F-B... registration. Any ideas?
Further to our notes on "D-ESEL" on p.90/27, Philippe Couderchon has provided notes and a photo to fill in the missing history. After capture VN787 c/n 501659 was given to the French (one of 114 in total) and received CoA no. 18589 on 9.6.49 as F-BBMY, French c/n FR.38, with AC de l'Aisne at St Quentin. Cld at the end of 1952, it was preserved at the CAMA store, 52 rue Dachery, St Quentin until 1980, without engine and painted yellow and red. It was bought for 20.000FF by Joachim Hahn of West Berlin 11.80, thence to the museum.

A Blackburn Segrave I at Lyon-Bron in 1932. It must be G-ABFP or G-ABFR, though we favour the former which was fitted with navigation lights in early 1932 and with British Air Navigation Co Ltd frequently flew to and from France until 7.32 or 8.32. Again can anyone confirm this from the aircraft colour scheme?
The Blackburn Segrave matches up with a photo provided by Thomas Willis of G-ABFP, which incidentally shows it on a sales tour with other Blackburn products in Czechoslovakia.

A Southern Martlet, no details given but this is a Genet-engined example probably taken early post-war and with G-AA visible, so probably G-AAVD or G-AAYX. Can anyone confirm from other photos perhaps?
The Southern Martlet must be G-AAYX if post-war. G-AAVD was derelict at Turnhouse by 1944 and cancelled 12.46. G-AAYX was fitted with Magister wheels post war and had untapered ailerons.
