Marked to represent Amelia Earhart's Lockheed L-10E Electra, this aircraft was first registered NC33615 in 1941, quickly passing to the USN as XR3O-2 BuNo 02947. Apparently taken on charge by the RAF in August 1945 as 'D2947' (seems suspect) but became G-AGTL in September 1945 when acquired by Sidney Cotton, famous for his recently restored Lockheed 12A G-AFTL which was used for clandestine reconnaissance over Germany before WW2. To F-BJJY in 1963 and F-AZLL with Le Gros Biplane Rouge in 1999. This photo is copyright © Richard Vandervord, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
