The first of six Rangoons. They served mostly outside the UK. The service life was brief - 1931 to 1935. S1433 was stripped of military equipment and registered G-AEIM in 1936. It was flown by Air Training at Hamble training Imperial Airways crews. G-AEIM was scrapped in 1938. Photo from: air Force Museum of New Zealand
