1st of type on AC !
The Desoutter Aircraft Company was formed in December 1928 to manufacture the designs of the Dutch Koolhoven company in particular the Koolhoven F.K.41, which had drawn a lot of attention due to its modern design. The licence was obtained and Desoutter set up a production unit at the former ADC factory at Croydon Aerodrome. The F.K.41 became quite successful and was marketed under the name Dolphin. The name "Dolphin" was later dropped and for a while the aircraft was marketed only under the name "Desoutter". A slightly modified version was later produced and the versions received the suffixes Mk.I and Mk.II.
Desoutter's aircraft became a familiar sight in British flying clubs, where they were used for instruction, pleasure flights and taxi flights.
Still flying today as part of the amazing Shuttleworth Collection !

Tomtit K1786 was built by Hawkers in January 1931 & initially served with No. 3 Flying Training School. It joined the U.K. civil register as G-AFTA in April 1939. During the war, it was flown by Alex Henshaw and gained a Spitfire windscreen and faired headrest. It was acquired and restored by Hawkers in 1949 where it became the mount of the their test pilot Neville Duke and was painted in the dark blue company colours. In 1960, it was handed over to the Shuttleworth Collection, who returned it to its original RAF colours in 1967.

The Avro Model 621 was designed by Roy Chadwick as an Avro private venture metal replacement for the Avro 504. Conceived as a light initial pilot trainer, the biplane design featured heavily staggered equal span, single-bay wings; the construction was based on steel tubing (with some wooden components in the wing ribs) with doped linen covering. A conventional, fixed divided main undercarriage with tail skid was used in all but the latest aircraft, which had a tail wheel.
Built in 1933 ex RAF K3215 (Painted as "K3241" in the colours of the Central Flying School)

G-EBIR was built in 1925, the last of only three DH51's built (the other two were G-EBIM & G-EBIQ). It was the first aircraft to be registered in Kenya as VP-KAA in 1928 and named "Miss Kenya". Donated to The Shuttleworth Trust in 1962 and is the oldest de Havilland designed aircraft still flying !

G-AJRS was constructed as a Magister I (RAF version of the Hawk) in 1937. P6382 is the correct and original military serial for this aircraft.
