There are apparent inconsistencies in this information. The information on the slide states, 'D.L.H.'s Fokker FIII Freight Plane at Croydon, August 1925', but D.L.H. was not founded until -6 January 1926. It was registered to the joint Russian-German airline, DeruLuft in June 1926 and for a while carried the Russian registration RR-6 before being restored to German marks D-906 (so was June 1926 the date of initial registration or the date restored as D-906?). DeruLuft operated mainly between Germany and Russia, although D.L.H. took a stake in DeruLuft in 1926. Sold abroad Dec.1928. This photo is copyright © L.
