This unidentified Vega Gull, in all-over dark colour scheme with a motif or badge on the engine cowling, was one of the aircraft held at Le Bourget by the Germans during the war. The registration on the fuselage appears to have been painted over and tricolour applied on the rudder. It is possible that this could be G-AFIM c/n K.93 which is known to have been abandoned at Le Bourget in 1940.

The demise of c/n K.100 G-AFEH. This photo was taken at Yeadon in January 1953 and shows the engineless aircraft being dismantled with the wings on the right. Presumably most parts of value had been removed and judging by the large heavy hammer being wielded by the mechanic, "broken up" would be the best description of what happened next.
