1st of type on AC !

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.
