Seen at Marsh Leys Farm, Kempston, after the owner, G.A.Chamberlain, suffered the misfortune of a dead-stick landing in a deeply furrowed field. Having bounced off a deep ridge the Dove stalled, dropped a wing, and lost its undercarriage in the ensuing impact with the ground. Following repairs Geoff swapped it for an Avro 504K from Richard Shuttleworth and Warden Engineering converted it into the Pup that we know today. (Geoff Chamberlain photo)
