Plane took part in Pentacost rally of Austrian Aero Club, to which it was registered. The pilot is named as Prince Kinsky. Aircraft built in 1934, G-ACSE apparently not taken up. A-145 to OE-ABC in new Austrian register. To D-EABC of German Aero Club after Anschluss. Apparently sold to Airwork as G-AFZG just before WWII. Impressed as AW156 for No 24 Sqn. On a flight from Hendon to Brize Norton on 30 January 1942, the Leopard Moth collided with Oxford N6431 and both aircraft crashed into the ground near Buscot Park, killing all three occupants.

The last departure of the Hungarian Lockheed 8A Sirius. As NR115W Justice for Hungary, it had been flown across the Atlantic by György Endresz and navigator Sandór Magyar in July 1931. It became HA-AAF in Hungary. On 21 May 1932 Endresz and Gyula Bittay, who had replaced Magyar, went to Italy to attend the Congress of Transoceanic Airmen, but they lost their lives crashing the Sirius at Rome - Littorio (now Urbe). There was public mourning in Rome and Air Minister Italo Balbo, himself a transoceanic airman, presented Hungary with a rather less modern plane, the Fiat BR.3 HA-AAF Giustizia per l'Ungheria.

Two weeks after Lindbergh's solo flight, Clarence Chamberlin and Charles Levine crossed the Atlantic from New York to Mansfeld in Germany in the WB-2 Columbia. In their triumphant tour they visited Budapest. This excellent aircraft, which went on to make many long-range flights, had been Lindbergh's first choice, having set an endurance record of 51 hours. The number 140 may be an old race number. The original destination, Paris, has been painted out and oddly Cottbus, where the aircraft stopped by on 7 June before arriving in Berlin, has been added.

'Arrival of the first direct Rome - Budapest flight.' The humble terminal here was replaced by a small modern building in 1935. Mátyásföld was replaced by Budaörs (LHBS), itself short-lived as Budapest's airport, in 1937. Photo from: Fortepan

The photo must have been taken during the Challenge International de Tourisme 1929 rally, with the 'German fuel depot' in the background. The Hungarian photo source says 1934 but the aircraft was apparently destroyed in 1933. Photo from: Fortepan

This red Ju 52 was Hermann Goering's personal aircraft at the time. Goering stopped by here after an Adriatic holiday and talks in Belgrade. Aircraft later renamed after Kurt Wolff, another WWI ace. Later GC-AF in the Luftwaffe. Crashed and written off the Lufthansa books in 1942. Photo from: Fortepan

Dutch Waco participating in Pentacost rally of Austrian Aero Club. Owner was M.A.G. (Dick) van der Leeuw, partner in the Van Nelle coffee, tea and tobacco company. He acquired another Waco, PH-VDC, in October 1935 but was killed when he crashed it at Waalhaven on 3 December 1936. Photo from: Fortepan

Former Malért airliner converted to ambulance. The Fokker received the so-called LüH serial 40.02 which seems to be worn on the tailfin. Photo from: Fortepan

The second aircraft is MM55810 / I-ACMA. The source says that the photo was taken at Budaörs in 1938, but another shot is tagged Mátyásföld, Pentacost 1935, and that information is backed up by the presence in this picture of G-AALW, just visible on the right. Photo from: Fortepan

The prototype of the Junkers Ju 52 single-engined cargo plane, first flown on 11 September 1931. It is probably seen here the next summer when it visited Budapest on a demonstration tour. Six single-engined Ju 52s were built, followed by thousands with three engines. Photo from: Fortepan
