Salvaged from Ballale Island in 1968. Restored to fly by Bob Diemert with a Wright R-2600 radial engine instead of the original. On November 22, 1969 he took off from Friendship Airfield on its first flight but it had not been registered or cleared. In anticipation of the flight, the Canadian Department Of Transport (DOT) had officers on the ground at the airport to arrest Bob when he landed. Instead, he flew about 20 miles to land at RCAF Station Macdonald near Portage la Prairie! Other sources say it is a D3A2, 3178. Photo by Fred Guthrie.

2 August 1947: At 1:46 p.m., G-AGWH, operating British South American Airways Flight CS59, departed Buenos Aires, Argentina enroute Santiago, Chile. At 5:41 p.m., Santiago airport received a routine Morse code signal indicating the flight would arrive in four minutes. It never arrived. Its fate remained a mystery until 1998, when two mountain climbers on Mount Tupungato, one of the highest mountains in South America, 50 miles east of Santiago, found a wrecked Rolls-Royce Merlin engine in the melting ice of a glacier at 15,000 ft.

Roll out ceremony of the complex composite Spitfire, based on the fuselage of RR232, and owned by Peter Sledge. The original RR232 was built at Castle Bromwich as an H.F.IX (Merlin 70) and had been taken on charge by No 45 MU, Kinloss, exactly 40 years earlier. After a period on display in Australia it was sold to Charles Church during 1985 and arrived in the UK in January 1987. Due to having been restored as a static exhibit many parts were removed and used in other projects before the hulk was bought by Martin Phillips for restoration to fly. (Photo by Peter Anderson).

Designed by Harold Bolas, built at Yate 1928-29. C of A 25 Jun 1930. Sold to Allen Algernon Bathurst (Lord Apsley), Dec 1932, damaged beyond repair in a forced landing at Herongate, Rickmansworth, Herts, 20 March 1934, caused by the Elf's reliance on a fuel pump rather than the simplicity of a gravity-fed system. Registration G-AAFH cancelled by the Air Ministry on 2 Aug 1934 due to "destruction or permanent withdrawl from use of aircraft". Photo from Don L. Brown.

Vickers photo supplied to me over 60 years ago. I believe that the pilot was Jeffrey Quill - the "QJ-J" code was applied in his honour when the aircraft was owned by Vickers. The date is an estimate.

Fuselage frame of Sports Avian G-ABEE. Having donated parts for the restoration of G-EBZM it was sold and exported to Australia c.1978 and was used as a studio prop for the movie "The Lancaster Miller Affair" in the mid 80s. Now believed to be in Queensland as a restoration project.

Roy Chadwick (Designer), Bert Hinkler and R. J. Parrott (General Manager of A. V. Roe & Company Ltd) with the prototype Avian prior to Hinkler's first solo flight between England and Australia. Leaving London (Croydon) on 7 February, he arrived at his home town of Bundaberg, Queensland, on 27 February. The flight took 128 flying hours and in the process Hinkler smashed the old record time between the two countries from 28 to just over 15 days.

The only surviving multi-engine German aircraft from the First World War. It was shipped to Canada as a war trophy in 1919; over the next forty years its movements were not well documented and its two 260 hp Mercedes engines were lost. The aircraft was stored in a warehouse operated by the Canadian War Museum in the 1950s. Between 1968 and 1969, it was restored by No. 6 Repair Depot, RCAF, at Trenton, and its original engines were replaced with 160 hp Mercedes engines. It was transferred to the Museum in 1970.

Wreckage of Capt William Lancaster's Avro Avian IVM (previously VH-UQG) which crashed on 12 April 1933. The body of William Lancaster was discovered 12 February 1962 by a patrol of the Légion étrangère (French Foreign Legion) when they found the crash site. The wreck was located about 45 miles west of Lancaster's planned route from Reggane to Gao, French Sudan. His intended route was to follow a road across the desert. The estimated time of arrival at Gao was 0230. The wreck was recovered by the Wylton Dickson Expedition.
