The personal aircraft of the then Prince of Wales, the future King Edward VIII. He disposed of it in 1931. G-ABBS was sold to the British High Commissioner to Iraq and would remain in the region for the rest of its existence. Initially it remained G-ABBS with British owners in Iraq and Iran until it was sold in Iraq as YI-ABB in May 1935. It remained Iraqi registered until it ended up as a wingless instructional airframe in Beirut. Photo from: The Early Aviation Photograph Collection/The Museum of Flight
