Регистрационный номер: G-EBGW [5] Designed by Sammy Child, the twin-boomed Zephyr biplane was the first product of the RAE Light Aeroplane Club, formed by a group of employees of the Royal Aircraft Establishment at Farnborough, Hampshire, in October 1922. Powered by a 500 с.c. two-cylinder Douglas motorcycle engine delivering about 17 h.p., the Zephyr was completed in the summer of 1923 and first flew, from Cove Common, on the evening of September 6, piloted by club chairman Flt Lt P.W.S. "George" Bulman, who found it “wonderfully controllable". Although the Zephyr, registered G-EBGW, was scrapped in 1925. the Club survives to this day as the DRA Farnborough Aero Club.
