    A photocopy of yet another Croydon boundary accident, this time to G-AALC in which American millionaire Harriman and Capt Lines pilot crashed on take off for the continent and made a bit of a mess of the conservatory. When?
    The Fokker F.III failed to take off on its first passenger flight for British Air Lines and hit 'Glenrowan', the last house in Plough Lane. Date was definitely 10.9.29 with C of A only 23.8.29. A joint log book was kept with G-AARG and this is now with the Shuttleworth Trust.

  • Регистрационный номер: G-ABTI

    Armstrong Whitworth AW15 G-ABTI which crashed at Kisumu on 3.11.35 was the second to carry the name "Atalanta". The first, G-ABPI, had been badly damaged in a crash two months earlier and was rebuilt as "Arethusa". G-ABTI was also repaired and both aircraft survived to be impressed into the Indian Air Force in 4.41.

  • Регистрационный номер: G-ADDT

    Short Scion G-ADDT with "T. Cameron Black" on the fuselage and "Gaumont British" on the tail. Where and when was this taken and what is the significance of these inscriptions?
    Operated by Tom Campbell Black's flying circus, the Scion c/n S790 was also used for collection of cinema newsreels, hence the Gaumont British News titles. A head-on view shows starboard u/c leg broken but little other damage. Location was Westwood Heath aerodrome and the Scion was dismantled and taken to Brooklands for repair. Date was 10.5.36, shortly before G-ADDT was finally written off at Porthcawl on 26.7.36.
