G-AEZJ c/n K.65 was still less than two months old when photographed in new condition in preparation for its owner Derek Schreiber to fly in the 1937 King's Cup a few days later.

Two views of G-AFAU c/n K.69 which illustrate the two types of windscreen found on the Vega Gull. The upper photograph shows G-AFAU taking off as No.12 during the 1937 King's Cup with the flat-paned sharply tapered windscreen of the Vega Gull Series I.
The lower photograph depicts the same aircraft as it appeared as No.16 at the 1938 King's Cup. By this time the windscreen had been changed to the rounded type fitted as standard to the Vega Gull Series II.

L7272 c/n K.71 was the earliest RAF Vega Gull and was a Series I with sharply sloping windscreen and a small roof window over the rear seats, both well shown in this photograph. After RAF use it was registered G-AFWG for the use of the British Air Attache in Buenos Aires.

Vega Gull G-AFEA c/n K.84 was used by Alex Henshaw and his father to survey the route for his Cape record flight. He was forced to land by an oil leak and got down in the bush without damage, then taxying to the strip in the photograph. His note on the back reads: "One more bush down and we're on the 'aerodrome'".

Left: G-AFBC c/n K.75 is shown here in a post-war air race, most probably the 1952 King's Cup. It had survived impressment as X9340 but it was written off in a crash at Eastleigh in 1954.
Right: An earlier view of G-AFBC, at Ringway on 30.5.49.

K.65 had a most eventful career being sold to a Dutch owner, captured and used by the Germans and becoming a target tug in Sweden. In the mid-sixties it was placed in storage in a barn on the Swedish island of Gotland from which it was recovered and returned to the UK by Ian Callier. It is shown here in the barn as SE-ALA with the mainplanes visible behind and the tail surfaces also removed. Colours were silver with blue lining and marks outlined in red.
