Only one example was built of the Clipper two-seat touring monoplane, first flown in December 1932. After participating in the 1933 King's Cup Race it became a hack aircraft at Saunders-Roe, which took over Spartan. It was destroyed in air raid on Cowes in 1942. It is seen here at Hendon at the 1933 RAF Display, as proven by the Vickers 210 Vespa VII, K3588, wearing show number 9. That aircraft, although built in 1925, had set a world altitude record of 43,976 ft in September 1932, powered by a supercharged Bristol Pegasus engine.
