Tom Campbell Black’s British Empire Air Display used Scion G-ADDT hired from Pobjoy Motors and wearing the colours of Gaumont British News, it crashed at Porthcawl 26/7/36 and they also had Avro 504N’s G-ACZC, G-AECR w/o 10/5/36, and another unknown.

According to the Scran website (http://www.scran.ac.uk/database/record.php?usi=000-000-128-633-C&scache=5ih1puux07&searchdb=scran) G-ADDT had an interesting history –

The Short Scion II shown here was first registered on January 20th 1936 to Pobjoy Airmotors of Rochester and was flown by GE Gardiner from Croydon to India on 21 Jan 1936 returning on 13 March 1936 having flown 15,932 miles on the trip.
The aircraft then joined the H Campbell Black air display company where it visited pageants such as this one at Kirkcaldy in July 1936. The aircraft was written off in a crash at Porthcawl only a week later on 26th July 1936.
