Mann Egerton-built Spad S.7 with duplicated serial on fin and rudder. Note US Army hats.
Mann Egerton-built Spad S.7 seems determined that it will not be mistaken for anything but A9133.

Where does one start clearing up? This appears to be the problem facing the deck crew aboard Ocean as they contemplate the effects of a Firefly hurdling the barrier into the deck park. Details required.

As usual, someone places a piece of his anatomy in the way of the serial of this S.E.5A at London Colney.

This presents something of a mystery unless our readers know the answer. In AM.1/96, we had a photo of High Speed Fury K3586 rolled up into a ball after its crash on 29 August 1933. So what is this? Unlike the previous photo which showed the serial number, this has no sign of it. The Gordon in the hangar was at Martlesham Heath from July 1933. It has inter-aileron rods fitted which are not on the other photo and it also flew with V-struts. Is this the result of the 1933 crash and did K3586 fly, and crash, again? It became a GI airframe in January 1939, which is a long time after the 1933 crash. Where was it in the interval?
Dave Birch points out that K3586 was rebuilt after the accident on page 24 despite its rolled-into-a-ball appearance. It went to Rolls-Royce at Hucknall to test the evaporatively-cooled Goshawk engine and later the Kestrel XVI.
The Fury on page 42 is not. It is a Firefly III! From the lack of markings, it seems to have been a Fairey aircraft when it crashed and the hangar, originally thought to be Martlesham, is actually the one at Heath Row which later became the Central Area fire station.
Comparison of the various holes ties in with the Firefly III. As it had spats, presumably it was not one intended for Belgium so would be the Fairey demonstrator.
The Gordon in the hangar spent as much time at Faireys as at Martlesham Heath...

Hal Far's Tiger hack comes to grief in 1954. Serial is K28 and one wonders how much searching went on during the previous ten years to find the missing digits. In fact, K28 was the Kenyan impressment serial in 1939; the Royal Navy never gave it back!

Tsoe K Wong designed a single-seat biplane in 1913 with a 40 hp A.B.C. engine which was intended for production in China. Named Tong Mei (Dragonfly) it never left the UK and where this accident occurred is not known unless we have some racecourse recognition experts on our books.
The Wong biplane has brought some comments from Mr L.R.Jackson who points out that the T.K.Wong Ltd painted on the side of the fuselage dates it as after December 1913 when Wong became a limited company. There was a two-seater development which just had 'Wong' on the fuselage. This appears in the book on Shoreham reviewed in this issue but dated as being built at Shoreham in 1912.
It records that Tsoe K. Wong was born in Australia and came to Britain to study aeronautical technology. After learning to fly the Collyer-England biplane, he left Shoreham and eventually set up shop in Malaya with Avro 504s.
