Photo Comment

Believed to be built in 1936 it never made it onto the UK civil register. It had one test flight at Cark where it refused to take off and nosed over destroying the propeller and airframe. It was repaired but no more attempts were made to fly it. After being stored for many years it was restored and displayed at the RAF Millom museum until in closed in 2010 when it moved to Carlisle.
