Mishap on arrival at the ELTA exhibition, due to the soft ground. Provisional reg G-5414 derived from O/400 s/n F5414, but only the tail of that wrecked bomber was used in this new-built airliner. To G-EAAF, the sixth entry in the G register. According to some this aircraft flew the very first international passenger service later that month on the 25th, from London to Paris with eleven pax. In 1920, G-EAAF was shipped to the USA. Photo from: KB - National Library of the Netherlands

The Kangaroo was designed as a maritime reconnaissance and torpedo aircraft and, although only 20 examples were built, it was employed with some succes against U-boats in 1918. Blackburn subsidiary North Sea Aerial Navigation Co operated eight after the end of the war, converted to carry up to eight passengers. Three of these gave joyrides at the ELTA fair in Amsterdam in August and September 1919, taking an estimated 1400 people up in the air. The same construction number is given for G-EAIT so it may be incorrect. Photo from: Amsterdam City Archives

From the DFW C.V, the DFW company from Leipzig developed its F.37 which may have been designated C.VII by the German army. Fitted with a BMW IV engine, the type broke the world altitude record in 1919 although the FAI would not recognize this. One F.37 was converted to the P.1 Luft-Limousin with a Mercedes engine and a richly upholstered three-passenger cabin. The photo was probably taken at the ELTA exhibition in Amsterdam.
