That particular Hendon was a dual control aircraft and now we can see the serial of the Anson this corrects the wrong serial on page 445 of the K Files.

To add a little more interest a photo of what seems to be a very rarely photographed aircraft, you will all know what it is ? What I find so nice is that it is recorded simply as american at Shaibah

PHOTO 49.

Lockheed Orion The Spirit of Fun, Hal Roach Studios crashed Rhodesia 1932.

I just noticed that the hangar shown here is the small one at centre right in the Shaibah aerial photo 4, you can see the shadow of that odd canopy.

Unfortunately there isn’t a photo in Vol IV of the Impressments log, I would guess like the Atalantas it just got roundels and a serial over it’s silver finish.

It’s been a fun series. I’ve enjoyed it immensely.

This aeroplane was finally withdrawn from use in 1940 when, after some wing tip damage occured, White Ant activity was found in the (wooden) wing. It left Croydon in December 1934. Engines were 4x AS Lynx. Good post from Lauriebe by the way.

Perhaps a test device for the Flying Jeep programme using a power takeoff from the H.5 to power the fans to gather test data. The other H.5 just appears to have a heavily shrouded rotor head.

They were built in the US as Bliss Jupiters.
