Operated by CLASSA, this Tri-Motor carried out the first air service from Spain to the Canary Islands on 20 May 1930, flying from Madrid to Los Rodeos on Tenerife via Casablanca. The aircraft was imported through Ford's European agent in the UK. On the left is almost certainly G-ABEF (c/n 4-AT-61). The location may well be Hooton, on the Mersey, where G-ABEF was assembled, although this was supposedly later in 1930. M-CCKA to EC-KKA in 1931. To G-ACAK, then to VH-USX for use in New Guinea, see other photo, and destroyed there by Japanese attack in January 1942.
