You claiming the record, AA? How quick do you run up those stairs? 🙂 Took my posts 13 minutes to load the other day.
Yes I found too that this forum loads in seconds which made me wonder if the Historic forum is reaching capacity. I’m no computer expert though and don’t know if that’s how these things work.

Hi guys,

I’ve posted a couple of times today and found it has taken over 10 minutes to display the post. After my first post I tried to add some additional info by way of an Edit but the post simply re-loaded without the additional info! General browsing/ page loading time seems to have really improved though (for me, anyway).

The A Fleeting Peace website http://www.afleetingpeace.org/index.php lists this aircraft as sold to the Chinese Air Force in 1933. Flight Archive has this from 1934 showing the Fox demonstration for the Kwangsi Air Force – https://www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/view/1934/1934%20-%200763.html?search=kwangsi

Lovely photos which really show the size of the Fox.

Glad you posted that link Errol as I’d missed your earlier posts. Superb photos and great to see such a thriving scene in NZ. Thanks for posting 🙂

There was an engine from a Sperrin at Strathallan late 70s or early 80s. First I’d ever heard of the type.

I wish I could help, but can’t without a bit of research. I’ll certainly ask around

Thanks, Laurence 🙂

p.s. when did Birsfelden close?

Birsfelden’s last passenger flight was in 1950 and I’ve also seen 1953 given as its final closure date.

Think it could be an M.11 Whitney Straight, Duggy. There were at least a couple registered pre-war HB-EPI and URO. Nice photo 🙂
