More vintage aircraft photos

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.

Sir John Allisons Miles Gemini at Shuttleworth sunset display June 2003,

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.

Thanks for the Gipsy engined Auster Neal, you can come to my party if you bring one of those with you.

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?

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