The Liverpool Daily Post published this 1934 photo of Speke ( Now John
Lennon) Airport showing what they describe as the Avro planes of the Midland
& Scottish Air Ferries fleet.
The dormer attic window in the farmhouse beyond was built to act as control
tower!

I can spot a DH Dragon Rapide and is that not a Fokker V111 in the
foreground?
There are at least 2 other marques in the middle distance?

TIA

The 3rd and 4th aircraft look like they might be Fox Moths.

Yep I can see Fox Moths. The other looks like an Avro Cadet or an Avro 626

G'day Fellow Wing Nuts!

I believe the three-engine aircraft is an Avro 618 Ten. It was the fourth
machine of four ordered by the Indian State Airways. Lack of funding led to
the order being cut back to a single machine. The fourth aircraft
subsequently remained at the Avro works until completed as G-ACGF in April
1933. It was purchased by Mr. John Sword where it supplemented Airspeed
Ferries on the Renfrew-Belfast and Renfrew-Speke scheduled services of
Midland and Scottish Air Ferries Limited.

Incidentally Dave, the Avro 618 Ten was a British license-built version of
the Fokker F.VIIB/3m.

The reason it was named 'Ten' was, because it could carry eight passengers
and two crew.

Cheers...Chris
