This example of a Stearman-Hammond Y was found in poor condition at Hamburg Air Drome, North of Buffalo, NY on 28.8.86. It is unmarked and the only clue as to its identity may be the wind-driven generator on the undercarriage leg fairing above the wing. It does not appear to be one of the known survivors.

Another Model Y in an advanced state of disrepair was N15525, seen here without wings and cowlings but with booms and tailplane intact, at Van Sant airfield near Allentown, PA in 1969.

A little more detail has come our way concerning the Shanklin Flying Services information and photos published last time. Jack Meaden tells us that the Spartan Three Seater G-ABAZ spent most of its nine years with Sandown & Shanklin Flying Services in a red and white colour scheme with the name "Island Queen" around a crest on the right side of the nose behind the cowling. It certainly appeared in these colours in the King's Cup Race of 1930 with the racing number 25 on the rudder piloted by J F X McKenna. The photo shows it in red and white and if this was presumably the first scheme then the photos we published earlier could not be from about 1931. Clarification please!
