Регистрационный номер: G-AFZE [3] Parker's Heath Parasol G-AFZE being flown for the first time at Elstree 9.1.49 by Colin Debenham.
Flight October 16th 1947 *p.452 - A brief photo article on a Heath Parasol built by Mr R Henry Parker in his back garden at a cost of £100. Powered by a Blackburn Tomtit, bought second hand at £10. The aircraft had detachable wings to enable it to be towed by car to the nearest airfield. The photo showed the aircraft, with Parker, complete but without markings. This would be G-AFZE, allocated in 1939 but according to Ken Ellis' British Homebuilt Aircraft it was originally commenced in 1936 by Putnam Aircraft and did not fly until 1949 - did it really take this length of time?
F: 16.10.47 p.452: Robert Henry Parker's Heath Parasol G-AFZE was indeed many years in the making. It first flew at Elstree 9.1.49 piloted by Colin Debenham with a 696cc Blackburne Tomtit 2-cyl inverted vee engine. After sale to F.G.Lowe a 32 hp Bristol Cherub III 2-cyl horizontally opposed engine was substituted. -

Регистрационный номер: G-AJCK [2] Heath Parasol G-AJCK as first built with the Scorpion engine, its builders in attendance. See entry for 25.2.49.
Aeroplane February 25th 1949: *p.230 - A second Heath Parasol has been completed. This one is powered by an ABC Scorpion and test flying would be carried out by Ron Clear, CTP of Airspeed. A photo showed it with its engine running.
A: 25.2.49 *p.230 - The second Heath Parasol on the UK register was G-AJCK c/n S.H.1 which emerged in the same month (1.49) as G-AFZE, having been built in the previous year by A C Leith & ptnrs who formed the South Hants Ultralight Club at Christchurch. The first flights were made by Airspeed Chief Test Pilot George Errington and not by Ron Clear. However these were only hops as the 30 hp ABC Scorpion was not considered satisfactory. G-AJCK was sold to Airways Aero Association, a 40 hp J-99 JAP engine was substituted and it flew with this engine in 1950. Ownership passed in 1951 to Roger Mann and after moving it from Christchurch to Scampton he sold it locally. After a forced landing in 1954 it was burnt on a bonfire 5.11.54.
Edward B (Ed) Heath was born in 1888 and his aircraft designs were being published in 1915. His Parasol first flew with the Heath B-4, a converted motorcycle engine rated at 25 hp at 2800 rpm, a 4-cyl air-cooled upright in-line. Although Heath's company built less than 50 Parasols, hundreds were built from plans and kits which he supplied to homebuilders. Most had more powerful engines such as the 40 hp Continental A-40. -

Регистрационный номер: N1926 The origins of Heath Super Parasol N1926 are somewhat obscure. The aircraft originally registered N1926 was a Douglas M-4, so this number probably commemorates the first year of manufacture
