'Here comes the rain again.' Engine change in Saigon for one of the 15 Fokker F.VIIb-3ms orginally acquired by Air Orient. F-AMBU is believed to have ended up in the Spanish Civil War. Maurice Noguès was Air France's chief pilot, killed in the crash of the Dewoitine D.332 F-AMMY in January 1934.

An early Stirling Mk.V, presumably pictured on 27 June 1944. An unarmed transport variant of the outdated Stirling bomber, the Mk.V had an upward-hinging glass nose and a cargo door on the starboard side of the fuselage. 162 examples were built, most of them after the end of the war in Europe.

On 1 February 1942 a French mechanic stole this Goéland light twin somewhere in Vichy France and landed it at Tregantle Beach near Plymouth. The aircraft wears blue, white and red bands on the fuselage and wings and lacks the yellow and red Vichy neutrality markings. Apparently it was subsequently transferred to the Free French forces in North Africa.

The obsolete Stirling bomber remained in production until November 1945 as the Mk.5 transport. In 1947 Trans-Air of Belgium bought ten Stirling Mk.5s and actually commenced cargo and even passenger flights, a load of 28 Belgian missionaries surviving the crash of the first one, OO-XAC, in China. At least six of these were sold to Egypt in 1948 and saw action against Israel as makeshift bombers. This airframe, OO-XAS, ex PK153, was flown from Blackbushe to Madrid via Brussels in October 1949. It is not clear if it went to Egypt too.

Developed from the Fairey IIIF and very similar to the Fairey Gordon, the Seal was a naval spotter and reconnaissance aircraft that could be operated from carriers and also as a floatplane, like the Swordfish which would replace it. This is probably a factory photo of K3481 when new. It was also photographed while serving with No 821 Sqn of the FAA in 1934. Apparently it was with a Royal Air Force training unit when it crashed at RAF Usworth in 1939. Postcard.

A pretty photo of the fifth Cutty Sark. In 1931, this machine made a sales tour in Europe and was exhibited in Stockholm. From March 1932 it was operated between Blackpool and the Isle of Man by a small company called British Amphibious Air Lines, named Progress. By April 1935 it had returned to the manufacturer on the Isle of Wight to be put into storage. It was destroyed in a Luftwaffe raid in 1942.

Wealthy Czechs were accustomed to vacationing on the Adriatic coast from Austro-Hungarian times, and ČSA ran an Adriatic Express service to Zagreb and Sušak, near Rijeka. It was reported that the Czech airline bought this amphibian 'so that the harbour at Sušak may be used when the hill-surrounded aerodrome cannot be reached in bad weather.' Later reports say it served on a coastal extension of the route from Sušak to Split and sometimes Dubrovnik, in 1936-1937. Earlier, OK-BAK was owned by the Bata family, who may have used it in the Adriatic too. The hull survives in Kbely.

Seiji Yoshihara in the cockpit of his Saro A.17 Cutty Sark, the only example built with a single engine, in San Francisco Bay. It appears that Yoshihara intended to fly this aircraft solo across the Pacific from the USA to Japan, but it crashed at Oakland. Details are hard to find. In 1930, Yoshihara had flown Junkers A50 Junior D-3 from Berlin to Tokyo and in 1931, he attempted a Pacific crossing in a float-equipped Junior, J-BENB, but crashed it off Hokkaido.

Seiji Yoshihara in the cockpit of his Saro A.17 Cutty Sark, the only example built with a single engine, in San Francisco Bay. It appears that Yoshihara intended to fly this aircraft solo across the Pacific from the USA to Japan, but it crashed at Oakland. Details are hard to find. In 1930, Yoshihara had flown Junkers A50 Junior D-3 from Berlin to Tokyo and in 1931, he attempted a Pacific crossing in a float-equipped Junior, J-BENB, but crashed it off Hokkaido.

You're not alone if you've never heard of the Vanneau (lapwing), an advanced trainer of which over 500 examples were built. Based on the MS.450 fighter design it first flew after the liberation of southern France in December 1944. Serviceability problems with the MS.472 were only partly solved by the Hispano-Suiza 12Y-powered MS.475 Vanneau V, which replaced it at the Armée de l'Air flying school in Meknes, Morocco, from 1951. The Aéronavale used the carrier-capable MS.474 Vanneau IV.

The DH.14 was designed as a replacement for the DH.4 and DH.9 bombers, but that was no longer required after the end of WWI and the first of three examples to fly was the DH.14A long-range aircraft, powered by a 450-hp Napier Lion engine. Plans to fly across the Atlantic or from England to Australia were overtaken by successful Vickers Vimy flights. A flight to Cape Town ended in an emergency landing on a beach near Messina and the aircraft finally served in the RAF as J1940, used for comparative trials alongside the two other DH.14s which had Rolls-Royce Condor engines.

The slightly crude Scylla was derived from the Kent flying boat. Syrinx was the second and final example of the type.

The Portsmouth Aerocar was a twin-boom utility aircraft seating five or six people and first flown from Portsmouth on 18 June 1947. Although considered promising, it was overweight and financing could only be found in India which caused problems as India gained independence that summer. Only this prototype, powered by Cirrus Major engines, was completed.
