The aircaft is a Hawker Hart

History as follows
School of Photography on 13/03/33.
Abingdon Station Flight on 27/11/33
Armstrong Withworth for Repairs 6/8/34
603 Squadron 2/4/35
Undercarriage collapse at Turnhouse 25/3/37

My guess is the photograph was taken when it was with the first unit at Farnborough as it does not have any squadron markings.

Thanks Thunderbird – info much appreciated. I had no more to go on as there is no RAF connection in the family history as far as I know, so no idea how he came by the photo.

Oh, and Roger agree that it is a lovely shot but don’t think there is a reflection on the original (must have another closer look) but suspect it was taken from another Hart.
