The beautiful Heston Type 5 Racer G-AFOK, designed by A. E. Hagg and G. Cornwall, was built at Heston during 1939-40, but crashed there on its maiden flight on June 12, 1940.
Salient design features of the Racer were the sharply-raked main undercarriage legs, faired tailskid, low canopy and ventral radiator intake.

Complete and ready to fly.

The clean design and wide-track undercarriage are well illustrated.

A rear view which portrays the radiator exhaust duct outlet in front of the rudder.

G-AFOK unmarked and awaiting wheel doors.

A view which emphasises the compact engine installation.
