Previously registered as G-AACN, the Gugnunc was sold to the Air Minstry in 1930 and became K1908. For the 1932 RAF Air Display it was painted in this rather grotesque colour scheme and performed (as in 1930 and 1931) a crazy flying display alongside the Westland-Hill Pterodactyl and a Cierva autogiro. Now restored in its original colour scheme and displayed in the Science Museum, South Kensington, London. This photo was added on 25 May 2025, and has since been viewed 53 times. |
