I’m a little bored so I thought I’d post a couple more vintage GA pics. Just as interesting as warbirds in my opinion.

Yes, kind of. There was the “British Klemm Aeroplane Company”, a subsid of the German Klemm company. The Swallow is the Klemm 25 redone to conform to British airworthiness requirements. The British Aircraft Manufacturing Company took over the British Klemm in 1935 or 36.
Thanks for posting that you’ve saved me some typing. Sorry but the 25 had both.

The 25 had an inline engine, the 26 a radial – which one do you see?

Not a bad try but you would have been better to go for the Dart Kitten which was based on a Klemm design.

Klemm 26 – isn’t that the same design as the BA Swallow?

A Caudron Rafale, 1934
A Northrop Gamma, 1932
A Beech Staggerwing, 1936

Yup, totally agree – anything old and British is fine by me!

Nice ones. Always loved the Gemini, a beatiful little machine, just a shame that its single engine performance was noticeable for being non existent.

Piper Cub from the same display.
