Регистрационный номер: G-ACFV, VH-UXD It should not prove too difficult to identify the aircraft involved in this accident, the registration is clear enough. Perhaps surprising is the fact that it was rebuilt and the following year was flying in New Guinea! Details of the accident, other than just date and place, and of G-ACFV's subsequent history would be welcome.
G-ACFV This was an Avro 642 of Midland & Scottish Air Ferries, named "Marchioness of Londonderry" and based at Hooton for the Liverpool-Birmingham-London service. It left Romford 4.6.34 with 2 crew and 1 passenger but ran out of fuel and force-landed in a field at Cerrig-y-Druidion, Denbigh. Fifty gallons of petrol were obtained but on take-off G-ACFV caught a wall at the end of the field with the evident result. After rebuild the Avro went to Commercial Air Hire of Croydon and was eventually destroyed as VH-UXD in New Guinea 11.3.42.Самолёты на фотографии: Avro Type 642 - Великобритания - 1933
