A pretty photo of the fifth Cutty Sark. In 1931, this machine made a sales tour in Europe and was exhibited in Stockholm. From March 1932 it was operated between Blackpool and the Isle of Man by a small company called British Amphibious Air Lines, named Progress. By April 1935 it had returned to the manufacturer on the Isle of Wight to be put into storage. It was destroyed in a Luftwaffe raid in 1942.
