Photobucket seems to work now.
As I said in my previous post:
I presume you have seen the two photos on page 250 of Vol 3 of AJ Jackson’s British Civil Aircraft (1960). They show the Aerogypt in its Mark I version, giving the c/n as 3 (why 3, I wonder). The second photo is of the Mark IV, which seems to have the same fuselage, judging only from the paintwork, minus the funny roof, but with the end plates. However, the fin colour scheme is different, in that the dark stripe is absent. This might uphold Avion’s surmise on his previous thread that the fuselage might have changed between Marks III and IV.
In the abpic photo of the hen house (giving c/n 01), the fin does not have the dark stripe, so suggests it must be the Mark IV. The endplates might simply be broken off.
