Looking for a bit of help on information and photos of the Airspeed Envoy in RAF service, particually having been fitted with a gun turret.

One of my all time favorites, especially in that colour scheme.

Can anyone help with a decent original picture of the Duke of Windsor’s Pussmoth
(G-ABBS) or other Pussmoths by this Royal owner.

Ok, what about the Envoy in RAF service (minus the turret)

Two were sold to the RAF for use in India, Five were bought for communications duties with one surviving the war. The Kings flight Envoy EXX joined 24 Sqn and also survived the war.

Taylor Airspeed.

The convertable/military Envoy with a turret only saw service with the South African Air Force.
