• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

K4809; depending on the source document this was either a 2FTS (RAF Digby) aeroplane or a 24 Sqn (RAF Hendon) Aeroplane when Fg Off I.V Hue-Williams used it for his display at the Empire Air Day at RAF Hendon in May 1935;

Given the outcome that day when Hue-Williams rather infamously crashed the poor Avro during his 'ham fisted student' aka 'crazy flying' routine and was pictured in the disintegrating Avro sliding across the Hendon grass: I suspect he as a member of 2 FTS staff, had simply borrowed the Tutor from 24 Sqn (resident at Hendon) in order to carry out his display. I've included a photo of the wreck in the zip. Hue-Williams was only lightly injured in the incident and the public were told it was part of the routine;

Researching further I found out He went on to be a Wellington bomber pilot with 37 squadron at RAF Feltwell.

Sadly along with his crew; the then Sqn Ldr Hue-Williams was reported MIA presumed killed on the Wilhelmshaven raid of 18 December 1939 ; their aircraft N2904 was last reported heading out to sea heavily ablaze. See the links for more info.
