This was the fifth of six Mew Gull racers to be completed. It won the 1938 Kings Cup at 236 mph flown by Alex Henshaw. It is seen at the 1953 event. After several crashes it is still airworthy in the Shuttleworth Collection. This photo is copyright © R.A.Scholefield, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
