Hello,
I am not quite sure if this is the right forum for my question, otherwise I hope the attached pictures might interest you.
The pictures are related to an incident at the airfield of Eelde (Netherlands) in 1933. One of the two Hawker Dantorps for the Danish Navy (the only ones built) was damaged on landing at this airfield, the aircraft ended up on its nose, damaging the propellor and engine in the process.
What I would like to know are the names of the, what I guess, Hawker representatives on these pictures.
Kind regards,
Hendrik

Hello again,
Two more pictures related to the same incident. For these and the ones I posted earlier I have to give credit the local historical society of the village of Eelde, NL.
Kind regards,
Hendrik

I’m sorry I can’t help on the questions.
Great Pictures though and thanks for sharing.

Sorry Caz, this is not an answer for you. Perhaps the best way forward would be to find literature on Hawker test/delivery pilots in the 1930s. For example, I believe that George Bullman was the first pilot of the Hawker Hurricane. If you can find illustrations of such pilots you may be able to match them to your own pictures.
Cheers,
