K3163 visited Nigeria together with K3611. The trees on the far left are strikingly similar to those in photo 634066, confirming this is Apapa airport in Lagos, then being reclaimed from a swamp. The serial is painted as KR3163, which seems to indicate that this is a rebuilt Victoria. This airframe also appears in photo 633832, in which it looks much the same.

'In May [1937]', a Royal Air Force flight visited Nigeria, consisting of 2 Valentia and 5 Vincent type aircraft.' The seven planes are seen flying in formation in other photos by Mr Duckworth. The airport at Kano had opened in 1936 and Apapa aerodrome was being reclaimed from a swamp. The second Valentia is K3163 / N. Photo by: Edward Duckworth / Northwestern University Libraries, Illinois
