Indeed you’re right, Oracal. G-AC– registrations not appearing till October 1932.
I agree, Sopwith, that’s incredible flying. Looking at an old local newspaper clipping re. the 1935 display it looks like that “act” was changed a bit. It reads –
“The exhibition will include….what is described as “flying’s most difficult feat” by Mr Louis Rowley, who picks up with his wingtip a flag held in a man’s hand”
Which of those was “most difficult” I wouldn’t like to say!
That’s a lovely photo. Thanks for linking to it, longshot 🙂
Hi FarlamAirframes,
Looks like the late production Beaufort Mk I had the same (or very similar) antenna housing.
Blenheim Mk V (Bisley)? Some of them had a clear loop antenna housing. I think I’ve seen a pic of the Mk IV with the same but can’t find it at the mo.
Thanks for the comments, guys 🙂
Aeronut2019 – the show was on 22nd September. Getting on for Winter in the North of Scotland
I’ve never heard of that railway before. Looks a nice little line. Pity it was so short-lived.
There’s a short video of it on Youtube –
Now that would be useful, AA!
I’ve darkened the photo down a bit and it looks like a B is the next letter of the registration after the A. However, I agree with Avion Ancien and it could very well be a French or Italian aircraft. I wouldn’t discount the Klemm L27 either. Hopefully, the OP can give us some background info on the photo.
Beautiful sight and sound 🙂
That’s a beautiful location! Great that such a variety of historic aircraft are making it their home.
Thank you, Archer 🙂
Ok sorry. It’s just that number is in The Anson File and also in Avro Aircraft since 1908 as one of the 6th RAF production batch, N9713 to N9752.
I didn’t realise they duplicated serial numbers.
Hi FarlamAirframes,
N9718 is an Anson Mk.1 according to one of my books.
Oh, that’s sad! Good that no-one was hurt though.
