Photo submitted to Vintage Aircraft magazine by Grahame Gates. Originally built as single seater with increased range, it was shipped to Chile in December 1935 for Mr. Franco Bianco, who flew a series of long distance flights. These comprised Magallanes, over the Andes at 12.000 ft, then 1,150 miles non stop to Puerto Montt, flying time 9 hrs 55 min, then a further flight of 6 hrs on 9th June to Santiago. After this, a further recrossing of the Andes back to Magallanes via Buenos Aires.
