Minor fragments still extant in a private collection.

Believed to be the former J7323 which appeared at the 1924 Hendon Pageant as "13". It was sold to the Linnell brothers at Wittering and flown in all-silver without being registered. They sold it to Geoff Chamberlain (as seen here) and it then went to C P B Ogilvie at Watford in part exchange for the Sopwith Dove, G-EBKY. Last noted 1936, fate unknown. Photo from Sid Miles.

Seen at Marsh Leys Farm, Kempston, after the owner, G.A.Chamberlain, suffered the misfortune of a dead-stick landing in a deeply furrowed field. Having bounced off a deep ridge the Dove stalled, dropped a wing, and lost its undercarriage in the ensuing impact with the ground. Following repairs Geoff swapped it for an Avro 504K from Richard Shuttleworth and Warden Engineering converted it into the Pup that we know today. (Geoff Chamberlain photo)

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.

No idea how I came to possess this print! Looks like Woodford, pre-delivery. Re-reg RP-C1021 in 1974. To 9Q-CST (Shabair) in 1989, then Trans Service Airlift in 1992. Presumed scrapped.

Edgar Percival posing alongside the first "new build" Mew Gull, G-AEKL, at Gravesend. It was flown by Percival in the 1936 King's Cup Air Race and the Folkestone Trophy Race that summer before being sold to Air Publicity Ltd for use by Tom Campbell-Black in the Schlesinger Race. It was then fitted with a Gipsy Six Srs II and DH variable pitch propeller, becoming an E.2H in the process.

The Mew Gull in its original form at the Press Launch held at Gravesend, Kent, on 15 March 1934. Powered by a Napier Javelin it was flown in very blustery conditions by Edgar Percival. Designed and stressed by R H Bound, it was modified with a Gipsy Six Srs I, single strut undercarriage and new tapered wing - all designed by Arthur Bage - before competing in the 1934 King's Cup Air Race. A new fuselage was then designed by Bage, and with the new wing and undercarriage from E.20 fitted it became E.20A. The original airframe survived until burnt at Luton in July 1945.

Acquired in 1939 in damaged form by J F Ford, it was stored in Stoke-on-Trent until acquired by Mike Russell in July 1977 to form the basis of TWO restorations. The wings and tail surfaces to become a DH53 Humming Bird which was registered "G-EBQP" - although that aircraft had been destroyed before the Martin was built from the airframe of the Clarke Cheetah - and the Martin Monoplane itself. The Martin project is believed to be "resting" in Bedfordshire.
