Prototype Ferry specifically built to the requirements of Alan Cobham for his National Aviation Day displays. Cobham served as a Director of Airspeed in return for placing an order for two aircraft for his company, National Aviation Day Limited which combined showmanship with air displays and joy-riding. Taken by road from York to Sherburn-in-Elmet and f/f 5th April 1932. Photo by L F Barham.

Although its name oozes transport from A to B, the Ferry was designed for sightseeing flights with Cobham's Flying Circus, having good short field performance. This is the last of the four Ferries built. Along with the third, it was used initially by Midland & Scottish Air Ferries. Photo from: Airspeed
