Prototype of the Accountant airliner, an ambitious Dakota-replacement project by Southend-based Aviation Traders (Engineering). A note on this photograph states 'Under final stages of construction', which places it on an unknown date in 1957, given that it made its first flight on 9th July 1957, as G-41-1. Registered as G-ATEL 30th August 1957 and displayed at the Farnborough Air Show the following month. Sadly it attracted little interest and the project was abandoned, the aircraft making its last flight on 10th January 1958. Cancelled 8th Oct.1959 as PWFU and broken up at Southend Feb.1960.
