British Klemm B.K.1. Eagle 1 G-ACPU was the first production Eagle. It was certificated in July 1934 and first sold to E. L. Gandar Dower, who ordered it for racing. It was thus fitted with a 200 h.p. Gipsy VI, but this was later replaced by a standard 130 h.p. Gipsy Major. In September 1941 'PU was impressed into the RAF as 2679M.

TRANSOCEANIC CONTRAST. This photograph, recently received from Para, Brazil, shows a B.A. Eagle in company with the famous Sikorsky S.42 Brazilian Clipper. The Eagle is that in which Senor Pombo, who is one of the group, flew the South Atlantic in 16 hr. 40 min. from Bathurst. The picture is of particular interest in view of the fact that the British Aircraft Manufacturing Company hold the rights of building the S.42 in England.

THE NEW EAGLE: During the past few months British Aircraft have been trying out a new version of the well-known Eagle. This has a fixed undercarriage, and, for those who prefer to be relieved of retractable responsibility, the machine has certain definite advantages. The greater virtual wing-area and the decreased drag have resulted in a considerably improved take-off and a slower landing, while the causing speed (at 2,000 r.p.m.) is still rather better than 120 m.p.h.

Flight 1936-04 / Flight
