This Redwing, c/n 5, was bought new in 1931 by actor Will Hay and passed on to the Wiltshire School of Flying in 1934 and to C H Burge in 1936. The photo is a rare pre-war colour shot taken at Christchurch while it was owned by William Henry Sparrow who bought it about 5.38. It first appears in his log book on 11.6.38 and the last entry for it is on 31.1.39. During the war WH Sparrow worked at Sparkhill, Birmingham and at the Castle Bromwich aircraft factory and it has been generally assumed that he sold it in that area just before the war, the name "Harris" having been noted.
