Регистрационный номер: G-ACZX In response to our appeal for photos of the Municipal Aerodromes already listed David Birch sent us two shots from his collection. The air-to-ground view shows the fuel pumps, hangar and club house at Tollerton, from the east. Arranged outside are some of the local residents, comprising five Moths, one Hornet Moth, one Falcon, one Hawk, one Whitney Straight, one Swallow 2 and one Bluebird IV. The aircraft on the left appears to be the Nottingham Flying Club Moth Major G-ACZX, which enables us to date the photograph between 11.34 and 8.37.

Регистрационный номер: G-AAEE, G-AAEF, G-AAPW, G-AAWR, G-ABLC, G-ABLN, G-ABXL, G-EBXG The second of the photographs from David Birch's collection shows the Nottingham Flying Club members' aircraft at Tollerton in 1933. In the front row are (left to right) the Granger Archaeopteryx G-ABXL and Puss Moth G-ABLC. The second row comprises Gipsy Moths G-ABLN and G-AAEE and it is worth noting that the latter has been converted to an open cockpit configuration although built as a coupe. In the third row we find DH.60G's G-AAWR and G-AAEF with DH.60X G-AAPW on the right. Bringing up the rear is yet another Moth, DH.60X G-EBXG.
