Photo Comment

In the 'Spies in the Skies' exhibition here until late February 2024. Adapted for use as a reconnaissance aircraft by the Secret Intelligence Service in 1939. Flown by Sidney Cotton, one of the founding fathers of the PRU, this was the last British civilian aircraft to leave Berlin before the outbreak of the Second World War.
