Photo Comment
Overturned in a forced landing near Meadows, South Australia. Wreck bought by Pobjoy, which had taken over production from Short Brothers, and shipped back to the UK. Repaired and became G-AEOY with Arabian Airways on November 1, 1937. Six weeks later it crashed again. This time it stayed down.
