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 |
