CLW Curlew is lurking in the hangar of Essex Aero in this photo from Alex Henshaw’s personal album …

Whilst scanning old photos I came across this one of the TGN III assembled at Ken Woolley’’’s forge at Berkeswell, Warwickshire, in the late 1960s.

Not aware of a photo – I remembered it as my neighbour when I lived in South Woodford in the 1970s was from Flin Flon and I asked her, she knew nothing about it.

I seem to recall a solitary, single bay Flight Shed sitting in a field near Tadcaster quite a few years ago.

There was also an episode of “Lewis” on Telly a few years ago which featured a boat yard (supposedly in Oxford but could have been anywhere) the main building had the characteristic lattice trusses – maybe an old seaplane hangar?

Yes, fully airworthy restoration by Airframe Assemblies. It was painted when I last saw it …

It is/was under static restoration in Russia, unfortunately I can’t share the photos at present as they came via a third party.

Very little Hawker stuff in the BAE archive at Farnborough, the vast majority of the negative collection from Kingston is with the RAFM at Hendon

From the photos that I have the current restoration uses the original structure and therefore could only ever be static.

Almost identical circumstances to the accident which befell David Hollis-Williams in his Sopwith Dove G-EBKY at the Bournemouth Easter Races on Easter Saturday 1927.

It was subsequently repaired by Fairey Aviation (totally rebuilt morelike) and flew again … it is now, of course, owned by the Shuttleworth Collection and flown in Pup configuration.

(Text in brackets added by me for clarity)

Nothing more

I have some photos of it under restoration – any further information on its ownership would be much appreciated 🙂

At the risk of resurrecting an old thread I noticed that the Hawker Cygnet at Cosford bears the c/n 41H/632195. I don’t know if that relates to 1924 or its post-war restoration because G-INFO states it was c/n “1” with G-EBJH as “2”. The Hawker Hart, G-ABMR, is quoted as “H.H.1”
