hi,
I forgot to add a photo…
Photo 1:
This is from the same collection as the Wellesley etc and it shows Hawker Hinds parked between the Wellesley and Gladiator/Tutor group.

Again this is absolutely lovely on the print but the scan does not get the detail.
Thanks for your comments

You guys are just great… thankyou James and thankyou John.
The photos were purchased from EBAY some months ago. There were a number of small collections being sold by people. Some i was unlucky with. In addition to what i have shown here are a couple of cracking shots from the Army Service Corps on the North West Frontier circa 1930’s showing soldiers relaxing which are lovely and clear.
I have one other with the Wellesley. The quality is a bit off from the scanner.

hey l.garey
An interesting read and thanks for your reply.
I find out a bit more about these old planes every day it seems.
What a pity no one has found a forgotten about Valentia in an old hangar somewhere in the Middle East or beyond!!!
