    Kl 107C c/n 150 G-ASAW crashed in the sea off Littlehampton. The editor has now unearthed a photo of this aircraft, the only UK registered Kl 107, taken at Biggin Hill on 24.9.62.

  • Регистрационный номер: G-EBSC

    The photo has no note attached but we hope that someone can identify it. Editorial head-scratching has only concluded that this is the first known example of BSC - or Mad Aeroplane Disease - which causes sufferers to don pith helmets, fit folding wings to an open fuselage, add a large 4-wheel undercarriage and a two horsepower motor ... (yes I know, but it has been rather hot this summer!).
    The wings labelled BSC on the cart surely belonged to an Avro 548 with fuel tank slung under the port upper mainplane as used by the Henderson School of Flying. Three of them went to South Africa (not two as is usually reported), G-EAJB, G-EBRD and G-EBSC. The last was cancelled 5.28 as crashed in South Africa - which may respond to a report of an Avro-Renault (ie. a 548) which crashed at Harrismith on 12.3.28 killing an instructor Capt Dewhurst and pupil Dr Joubert. Our photo seems sympathetic with a South African location but the port wing assembly appears complete and undamaged. This may indicate that the photo was taken when G-EBSC was delivered in late 1927 or early 1928.

  • Регистрационный номер: D-EBKU

    Jack Meaden has unearthed a close-up shot showing BO 207 c/n 233 D-EBKU with tip-tanks fitted. This does not seem to have been a common modification.

  • The Piggott Biplane, seen under construction (there's always someone in the way when you want to take a photo...) and with a handwritten footnote "1913. It did not fly". So, who designed and built it, where, when, and why didn't it fly...?
