Olympic purchased seven ex-Northwest Airlines Boeing 720-051BS in 1972/3 to replace an aging fleet of DC-6Bs. Like the 707s and 727s they were first owned by finance companies. SX-DBG (CoR 256) was photographed at Heathrow in November 1972.

Last time we identified the Eurasia Ju 52/3m forced down on 13.4.39 as No.19 which can be seen on the previous photo written as EURASIA XIX on the fuselage. Here we see the site of the forced landing on the mountain side. The Junkers was badly damaged but was repaired on the spot and a level strip constructed by local labour so that it was able to fly out on 15.10.39 and continue to Kunming.

P-51D Mustang N9772F was acquired from Israel and is shown here parked at Cannes on 23.9.65 with the rear end supported and some damage evident to the base of the rudder. Note the top hat and cane symbol painted on the rudder. The aircraft is now in the Musee de l'Air collection in Paris.

The first of Olympic's Boeing 727s, SX-CBA (CoR 223) was actually registered in the Foreign Register for ten years because it was owned by a leasing company. When ownership passed to the airline it officially became Greek!

G-EBTD before the slot demonstration accident. The open slats show the cutaway wing leading edge of the initial installations and on the right side a slat-angle quadrant is fitted to this experimental application. The Gipsy left-side carburetter and exhaust manifold can be seen and below them the carburetter intake added to the modified Cirrus-type cowling.
G-EBTD c/n 430 in the form in which it came to grief on 19.3.28 during the slot demonstration by Geoffrey de Havilland. Because of its modified Cirrus-type cowling it seems it was always identified as a Cirrus Moth, giving the credit for the first Gipsy to G-EBQH which was not converted to a Gipsy until the following June. Three things reveal its Gipsy identity, the LH carburetter intake scoop halfway down the side of the cowling, the induction manifold and part of the carburetter above it, and the LH tractor propeller. The slats are open, giving a clear view of the slots formed by their extension.

Captain Geoffrey de Havilland in a heavy-duty flying suit,with his wife seated in the open cockpit Moth G-EBWV, at the time of the lightplane height record. Performance-improving features visible are the straight-axle undercarriage with small wheels, new fixed upper wing centre section without cutout, main fuel tank now ahead of front cockpit between engine bulkhead and back of instrument panel, and stub exhausts. The new tapered-nose cowl is fitted but not yet the tapered-hub propeller and the small pointed spinner that between them formed the pointed nose of the standard Gipsy Moth. The fuel pipe from the new tank to the small gravity tank in the centre section and the delivery pipe to the engine can be seen and there has not been time to put a finishing coat of paint on the covering over the new front tank and it shows up well in the standard red dope primer.

The third design, called the Piggott Military Biplane. It was entered for the 1912 Military Trials at Larkhill as "29" but while being taxied by Parr it was damaged after hitting an obstruction and took no part in the Trials. It was underpowered with its 35hp Anzani 3-cyl radial engine and there is no record of it being flown successfully. It is believed that the Piggott machines were all disposed of in 1912.

Самолёты на фотографии: Aircrafts on the photo: Piggott biplane - ВеликобританияUnited Kingdom - 1912

The Piggott Biplane No.1 of 1910 was designed by S.C.Parr, the company's engineer, who took his RAeC Aviator's Certificate 20.2.12 at Hendon and tested No.1 there in the same year, apparently without flying successfully. Many of its features were ahead of its time, such as the aluminium structure and hollow blade aluminium contra-rotating pusher propellers of different diameters spaced in tandem with a differential gearing from the 80hp 4-cyl upright in-line water cooled engine. He next designed an enclosed monoplane which was exhibited by Piggott Bros at Olympia in 1911 but, although this left the ground, it too failed to be developed into a successful flyer.
