Designed by Harold Bolas, built at Yate 1928-29. C of A 25 Jun 1930. Sold to Allen Algernon Bathurst (Lord Apsley), Dec 1932, damaged beyond repair in a forced landing at Herongate, Rickmansworth, Herts, 20 March 1934, caused by the Elf's reliance on a fuel pump rather than the simplicity of a gravity-fed system. Registration G-AAFH cancelled by the Air Ministry on 2 Aug 1934 due to "destruction or permanent withdrawl from use of aircraft". Photo from Don L. Brown.
