Almost complete but waiting for the engine, colour scheme was silver overall with dark green registration and wavy trim line. This was the original aircraft. The fuselage was destroyed prior to discovery by Bob Ogden who gifted the project to the newly-formed Midland Aircraft Preservation Society in 1968/69 and a new fuselage was built in Coundon, Coventry.

My late father taking a joy ride over Coventry, Warwickshire, in the Avro 504N (owned by Herbert Basil Goldwyn Michelmore) operated by Tom Campbell-Black's flying circus. He was 15 and it was his first flight. He evidently became "hooked" as he went on to fly Lancasters with No. 626 Sqdn, RAF.

In the mid 1960s Kenneth Woolley bought G-AFJB for £20 to save it from being scrapped. He repainted it in wartime ATA markings with its impressment serial as no original photos existed. It was displayed in the garden of his home at Berkeswell, Warwickshire, until he built a blister hangar to house it in. It was restored to the register as G-AFJB on 2 January 1973 and still flying by 2015.

Original prototype Wicko F.W.1, built in Lusty's furniture factory, Bow, East London. Powered by a modified Ford V8 car engine, underslung radiator is evident in this photo. The engine proved to be too heavy and although the aircraft flew well the take-off run was too long. It was subsequently rebuilt as the F.W.2 with a 90hp Cirrus Minor I. Following storage in Birmingham during WW2 it was restored post-war but lapsed into dereliction at Portsmouth and disappeared in 1953. Photo supplied by Geoffrey Wikner in 1980.
