The first of two Pipits. This photo shows it in its final form before it crashed at Martlesham Heath on September 20. From the outset the Pipit had problems and had received horn balances on rudder and elevators. Soon into testing the tailplane failed. The second Pipit, N233, had a new fin and rudder, ailerons on both sets of wings and struts on the tailplane. The new fin/rudder tail was soon replaced by the old one. N233 crashed in February 24, 1929 when the fin failed. The pilots survived the accidents but not the Pipit. Photo from: Imperial War Museums
