The prototype of the beautiful Albatross was used by Imperial Airways from August 1939 as a mail carrier. Transferred to BOAC in 1940 and impressed in September 1940 as AX903 for use by 271 Squadron RAF. Damaged beyond repair whilst landing at Reykjavik on 11 August 1941. Obtained from DH 60 years ago.
