The Scion dose still exist G-AEZF

She was originally operated as a floatplane by Elders Colonial Airways in Sierra Leone, she returned to Shorts in 1939 and converted into a landplane in 1941.

She flew for Shorts for another six years it was eventually sold on to Air Couriers Ltd. in 1947 a nomatic few years followed where she changed hands a number of times before finally ending up at Southend airport, where it was allowed to become derelict.

The mortal remians of ZF were passed on to theMuseum but this was just the very batterd remins of the fuseularge frame. a restoration/re-build was being under taken and the aircraft was exhibited at a number of events in and arround Southend including the Bus Rally.

When the museum closed the aircraft moved to a garage in Southend where the restoration continued it then moved to the Thameside Aviation Museum and then on to Redhill I beleve it is still there.

Well here is the cover of the museum guide, will get round to scanning the rest of it just as soon as the cat moves off the scanner were it has just dicided to have a kip!

This is the museum poster I have in my collection. also have a badge & sticker of the Dragon, and copys of the buildings blueprints!

Did’nt Aviation Traders at Southend have something to do with the Superfreighter seem to recall they produced the centre sections or something?

Not when a Vulcan uses Dunlops!
