A.Ord-Hume - Deekay Knight /British pre-war ultralights/
The photographs of the Knight were taken at Broxbourne in November 1937, shortly after its first flight.
The Knight had clean lines for its time, with a distinct Percival flavour. A salient feature of the type was its trousered main undercarriage legs.
The close-up shows the installation of the 85 h.p. Cirrus Minor engine.
A glimpse into the Knight’s two-seat, side-by-side cockpit. The canopy was divided along the centreline, each half sliding back for access.
