Регистрационный номер: G-AFGG MARENDAZ MARK 3. Built by International Aircraft and Engineering Ltd., at Barton, Beds, the Marendaz was designed in two versions, the Mks. 3 and 4. The Mark 3 shown here was a 3 four-seat with a Gipsy Six and the Mk. 4 a two-seat with a Gipsy Major. Special type slots and flaps were fitted, as well as a retractable undercarriage. The Marendaz Mk. 3 had a span of 31 ft. and length 26 ft. The Marendaz Mk. 4 would have had the same dimensions but the undercarriage was fixed. Neither the Mk. 3 or 4 ever flew, it is believed. This photograph was taken at the R.Ae.S. Garden Party at Heathrow on 8th May, 1938.
Another view of the uncompleted III at Heathrow shows the short exhaust stubs of the 6-cyl Gipsy engine and the unusual curved (bendable?) covers for the legs of the retractable undercarriage.Самолёты на фотографии: Marendaz Mk III - Великобритания - 1937

Регистрационный номер: G-AFZX [11] The left wingtip from above shows the outlet of the 'letter box' slots which were effective in the stall at preventing 'wing drop' and subsequent spin.

Регистрационный номер: G-AFZX [11] On a flyover into wind the flap behind the carburetter intake is still open but it is not a problem and Wyndham keeps flying.

Регистрационный номер: G-AFZX [11] Airborne, G-AFZX climbs away. Like the Tiger Moth, distribution of loading makes it necessary for solo flying to be from the rear cockpit, so the pupil would be in the rear.
