I believe the star markings worn by this and several other vintage aeroplanes in the display was to identify them as part of the "Dupont Display" which was the first item on the display programme. The fuselage of this aircraft was later used in the rebuild of Stampe G-AWEF, with G-ASHS itself being rebuilt in 1984 with the fuselage of Stampe G-AZIR.

To RAF as T7269 23 August 1940 and struck off charge Sept.1953 when sold as G-ANDA. It was DBR on 21 March 1967 after suffering engine failure while flying from Kidlington to Fairoaks and striking a tree during the forced landing on Hook Heath Golf Course near Woking, Surrey. (On 6 March 1955 it had landed on top of taxying Auster Autocrat G-AGXG at Denham, the Auster was DBR but G-ANDA was repaired and returned to service. On 3 May 1964 G-ANDA crashed on take-off from Rydden House Farm, Cranleigh, Surrey but was again repaired and returned to service). No fatalities in any of these incidents.

Ex F-BCFN. The fuselage of this aircraft was later used in the rebuild of Stampe G-AWEF, with G-ASHS itself being rebuilt in 1984 with the fuselage of Stampe G-AZIR.

Registered in 1958 ex R5130 as a DH82A and converted in 1960. At this time it was registered to Norman Jones who helped create The Tiger Club display team. On 3 July 1961 it crashed into a hop farm at Staplehurst, Kent with remains lasting until 1969 when they were burnt on 5 November (Bonfire Night).

Registered in 1958 ex DE313 and at this time owned by Norman Jones who helped create the well known Tiger Club display team. There is some conflicting information over its fate. The CAA cancelled it as destroyed 1 April 1964, the Air History database says it became EI-AHI and another uploader says it crashed near Moynalty, County Meath, Ireland on 23 March 1963.
