Forerunner of the MS.733 Alcyon trainer, a three-seater with fixed landing gear first flown on 11 August 1949. Its Mathis engine was quickly replaced by a German Argus As 10 engine, producing the MS.731. In 1951 two new MS.732 prototypes got retractable gear, and finally the MS.733 introduced the Potez 6D engine.

This is RAF Heliopolis in Cairo - not the same airfield as Almaza (HEAZ). Some of the buildings look more modern than the aircraft, but then the Valentia looked outdated from the outset. Nevertheless, the type served well into WWII, sometimes still uncamouflaged. The second machine, K3605, even flew a bombing sortie against Italian troops at Sidi Barrani, Egypt in November 1940. The third, K3163, has its serial painted as KR3163, being a rebuilt Victoria. These are No 216 Sqn aircraft.

Roscoe Turner in the Meteor racer that was built for him. The photo must have been taken in 1939 as Champion was his sponsor that year. Almost 44 years old, Turner announced his retirement from racing after winning the 1939 Thompson Trophy race. The Meteor is in the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC since 2022.

New Types Park, 1937 RAF Display. K5115 was the first prototype of the Henley, then a light bomber. K5604 / 7, on the left, is a Gloster F.5/34 monoplane fighter. K7555 / 5 is the Fairey P.4/34, which led to the Fulmar fighter. K8887 / 4 is an Airspeed Queen Wasp target aircraft and behind it is the Oxford prototype L4534 / 3. In the foreground is the DH.91 Albatross prototype E.2, which initially had its twin tailfins mounted close to the fuselage and not as endplates.

No longer wearing 'Arab Legion Air Force' titles. The Arab Legion was renamed the Jordanian army as per 1 March 1956. The photo was probably taken that month at Blackbushe. Ex G-AJDK of BEA, the Viking was used by King Hussein. It was replaced as the royal aircraft by a Varsity, VK-501, ex WF416, which was delivered from Eagle Aviation at Blackbushe in late 1956. The Viking fatally crashed in the Taurus mountains in Syria on 13 December 1956.

Early Wellesleys K7715, K7716, K7717 and K7718 equipped the B flight of No 7 Sqn, which was separated off to start No 76 Sqn at Finningley on 12 April 1937. Photo taken there that month - a group portrait of the new squadron exists with the same aircraft and the same treeline in the background. By 18 October 1938, K7716 was assigned to No 148 Sqn at RAF Stradishall. It collided head-on in mid-air with K7714 that day over Great Dunmow, Essex, and all six crew were killed.

This early Wellesely, the fifth production aircraft, was assigned to No 148 Sqn, but then fitted with a more powerful Bristol Pegasus engine with a long-chord cowl, as seen here, and first flew in this form on 21 January 1938. Although still wearing the squadron number here, it was assigned to Bristol and it crashed near Bristol on Friday 13 May 1938. It is also described as a trials aircraft for the Long Range Development Unit, which spawned from No 148 Sqn, but was not one of the five Type 292 Wellesleys.

'The Student flies'. This is the second prototype of the Bü 180, which was intended as a cheap civilian training aircraft. The V1, D-ELIO, first flew in November 1937. Only some 25 Students were built. Photo most probably taken at the Bücker works at Rangsdorf.

The twin-engined H-24 of 1929 led to the H-241 powered by four Hispano-Suiza 9 inline engines, followed by the H-242 with Gnome-Rhône 7Kd Titan Major radials. Accommodation was for twelve passengers. The H-242/1 entered service with Air France on the Marseille to Algiers route in 1935, making possible travel between Paris and Algiers in nine hours in summer. Another route was Marseille to Tunis via Ajaccio. F-ANPB struck the breakwater at Marseille - Marignane in fog on 2 February 1938 and was a write-off. Photo by: E Michaud

The H-242/1 entered service with Air France on the Marseille to Algiers route in 1935, making possible travel between Paris and Algiers in nine hours in summer. Another route was Marseille to Tunis via Ajaccio. F-ANPB struck the breakwater at Marseille - Marignane in fog on 2 February 1938 and was a write-off. Photo by: E Michaud

'The Short Bristol Seaplane being launched at Rochester today for tests. A flight over the 'Mountains of the Moon' to Lake Kivu, 5000 ft above sea level in the Belgian Congo, Central Africa, is to be undertaken shortly by Sir Alan Cobham and five other men.' The Bristol Jupiter-powered Short S.11 Valetta first flew in 1930 as a research aircraft. Cobham landed back at Rochester in September 1931, having flown 12,300 miles.

The first company called Bayerische Flugzeugwerke (BFW) existed until 1922 and became BMW. The second BFW was a continuation of Udet Flugzeugbau, and became Messserschmitt. Its first new product was the sole BFW 1 Sperber, a development of the wooden Udet U-12 Flamingo with a steel tube fuselage frame and N-type struts. It first flew in the autumn of 1927 and was sold to aerobatic pilot Alexander von Bismarck in February 1928. From 1929 it was owned by another aristocratic aerobatic pilot, Prince Eugen of Schaumburg-Lippe, and also flown by Oskar Dimphel.

The attention goes to a French Potez 43, F-AMBN /K3, but SP-AHN / O6 would win the 1932 Challenge International de Tourisme with pilot Franciszek Żwirko and mechanic Stanisław Wigura. They came twelfth in the rally around Europe, but had the best score in the technical trials at Berlin - Staaken. The photo is assumed taken there because the barrier for the take-off trial seems to be lying on the runway. The competing planes wore black or red tail stripes - red for light aircraft with empty weights up to 336 kg. Żwirko and Wigura were killed when SP-AHN crashed a few weeks later.

Two-seat racer designed for the October 1934 London - Melbourne race, to be flown by Francis Lombardi and Vittori Suster. Registered I-TALY in September 1934 with race number 69, it apparently still had not flown by then, and failed to make it to the start at Mildenhall. Reportedly the PL.3 was scrapped after some test flights by the military. CAB stood for Cantieri Aeronautici Bergamaschi. From 1929, this manufacturer from Bergamo was a subsidiary of Caproni and from 1938, the abbreviation stood for Caproni Aeronautica Bergamasca. Photo from: Dan Shumaker collection

The Ca.100 'Caproncino' (little Caproni) was based on the DH.60 Moth, for which Caproni held a manufacturing licence. The main change was that the upper wing was made shorter than the lower wing - the inverted sesquiplane configuration favoured by the Italian company. In 1929 the Ca.100 won an Italian government competition for a new civil and military training aircraft. MM55430 seems to be one of the first production aircraft, the lowest batch of serials starting at MM55425. It was presumably photographed when new in 1929 or 1930. Photo from: Dan Shumaker collection
