Регистрационный номер: G-ABAZ From Peter Berry we have a photograph showing his grandfather and friends in a "Shanklin Flying Services" vehicle, with flights at 5/- a time, and a Gipsy-engined Moth in the background. We know that they used Landguard Manor Aerodrome and later Lea Farm Aerodrome, Shanklin and became Sandown & Shanklin Flying Services Ltd in 1935. They used Spartans but by 1939 their subsidiary, the IoW Flying Club, had six Moths. Does any reader know more about the company and its joyriding operations, or can anyone attempt to date the picture?
Following the publication last time of the photo of the Shanklin Flying Services vehicle we have had details of the company from Malcolm Fillmore and pictures of their Spartan Three-Seater G-ABAZ (though we had expected someone to also identify the vehicle!).Самолёты на фотографии: Simmonds Spartan - Великобритания - 1928
