Photo Comment
Prototype Hendy Heck, designed by Basil Henderson to a specification written by Whitney Straight. C of A tests at Martlesham delayed as a result of damage incurred during a forced landing en route from Yeovil - in the course of which it collided with a cow! Flown by David Llewellyn and Jill Wyndham for Cape Record attempt Oct-Nov 1935 but dogged with issues including problems with the retractable undercarriage. Production version became the Parnall Heck 2C with fixed undercarriage. Scrapped 1937. This photo was added on 1 December 2025, and has since been viewed 29 times.
