Регистрационный номер: G-ABXY G-ABXY c/n 2241 "The Heart's Content" with 130 hp Gipsy Major was Jim Mollison's Atlantic record breaker. It was a special airframe with one door only, and that smaller than usual, at the rear of the cabin on the port side. This allowed the front of the cabin to be used for one huge 75 gallon fuel tank. There was also a 45 gallon tank behind the pilot in addition to the two 20 gallon gravity feed wing tanks, a total of 160 Imp gal.

They were equipped as two-seaters and fitted with fuel tanks for an endurance of 7 hours.
