Eustace Watkins and A F Kemp with their Puss Moth c/n 2028 G-AAXX. Mr Watkins said he had not used a train for business journeys for over 6 months. He estimated his speed at 110 to 115 mph but did not say if this was airspeed or groundspeed, in either case a high average!

G-ABBS c/n 2020, painted in red and blue Guards colours with polished metal cowlings, was the first of several owned by the Prince of Wales: others being G-ABFV c/n 2122, G-ABNN c/n 2190 and G-ABRR c/n 2209. Although the Prince had RAF Wapiti J9095 for his personal use and his own pilot, the Puss Moth was the opportunity to travel in cabin comfort without flying suit, helmet and goggles and he took immediate advantage of it. G-ABBS had low pressure tyres, an exhaust muff for cabin heating and Handley Page automatic slots on the outer wing leading edges.
