Well that didn’t take long. I’ve had this in my files for a long time and although I have the title in cryllic I wasn’t sure of what is was, but suspected it was Yak.

I have a feeling this is Polish perhaps even PZL.

Let’s see how we do with this one.

The gentleman on the right of this picture is Philip Wills, incidently the chap on the left is John Williamson (my instructor at Moonrakers in the early 60’s) and I believe he was the son of Henry Williamson of Tarka the Otter, Chronicles of Ancient Sunlight and other books.

According to GINFO G-EBPS wasn’t registered by Mr Wills until 23/11/1928 and struck off the register in 2/7/1929. Perhaps prior to that it was a DH owned machine and flown under some special licencing (see below). It’s construction number was 360.

PS, Also a note in the McKay book on the DH 60 Moth mentions G-EBPS as being displayed in Voss Motor Cars window in in Liverpool in the autumn of 1926 “both aeroplanes (refering to G-EBPR also in a Bournemouth motor showroom) later went into service with the DH School of Flying at Stag lane”. So it could be that when Mr Mill was flying it, it was still the property of deHFS. Also I realised that GINFO does not list all the CofA certs that were issued. Apparently PS crashed at Duxford in 1929.
