This photo shows the original E.1 Mew Gull racer, but after it was fitted with a new tapered wing, redesigned undercarriage, different engine and weighted rudder balance. The date is probably June 1934 as it is not yet fully painted. It raced in the King's Cup in July. Later, the new wing and undercarriage were mated to a new fuselage, producing the E.2, c/n E.20A, still G-ACND. Thanks to Gordon Riley for his information.
