G-AACH "City of Edinburgh" was the first AW Argosy II with Townend ring cowlings although as seen here these were soon removed from the AS Jaguar radials. It is seen at Croydon where it crashed and burned out on a pilot experience flight on 22.4.31.

DH.60X Cirrus Moth (first X with straight axle) c/n 529 G-EDCA was the personal transport of Sir Sefton Brancker, Director of Civil Aviation. The special registration had earlier been applied to the first RAF Genet Moth J8818 c/n 379 which he had used previously. The exhaust pipe passing outside the front strut shows this 'DCA to be a Cirrus II Moth. Interestingly it wears the engine cover of the AA's Moth, either G-EBRU or G-EBUR.

G-AAAH was Air Taxi's DH.60G converted to a long range single seater. It is seen here at Cairo 10.28 with Capt Walter L. (Wally) Hope piloting. Looks familiar? It should, as Amy Johnson flew it to Australia in 1930 and now, converted back to a 2-seater, it is in the Science Museum at South Kensington.

The prototype Blackburn Bluebird IV G-AABV (100 hp Gipsy I) was fabric covered like the Bluebird III but with an all-metal structure and in spite of retaining side-by-side seating its lines were much cleaner. Immediately after purchasing it, and after only abbreviated manufacturer's flight trials, Sqdn Ldr L.H.Slatter of the RAF High Speed Flight flew 'BV home on leave to South Africa.

G-EBYK was a DH.60G, c/n 825, owned by the company seen here being flown by Hubert Broad to the Haldon Rally in September 1929. A local storm made the conditions very rough and helpers are seen dashing forward to grab the aircraft and hold it down after landing.

G-EBZK, the sole Bristol 109, c/n 7268, did not attempt the long-distance record for which it was designed and is seen here as R2 ready for use on the endurance testing of the 490 hp Jupiter XIF 9-cyl radial engine in 1930. By the end of the year the prototype HP42 G-AAGX "Hannibal" had flown with four XIF Jupiters and the engine was developed to give 550 hp in production HP42s.
