The Newbury Eon photographed by the Editor’s father over Basingstoke on September 23, 1948.
The Eon in September 1948, painted in an attractive duck-egg blue scheme with dark blue trim and lettering.
The same aircraft during construction at the Albert Road works at Newbury early in 1947.
Philip Stanbury flying the Eon from Welford during an early test flight in 1947.
Another view of the Eon in its initial form, before the final paint scheme was applied. The over­sized rear half of the Eon is apparent in this photograph.
E. J. Riding’s three-view drawing of the Eon is reproduced courtesy of Aeromodeller.
