Resulta realmente sorprendente que alguien pudiese volar medio mundo, de Madrid a Manila (mas de 15000 Kms), en esta especie de "ultraligero" con un motor de 75 hp. Pues Fernando Rein Loring lo hizo dos veces, y este Swift (EC-HAM; c/n S.32/5) va decorado como el EC-AAT que utilizó en su segundo vuelo. El avión iba decorado con estos motivos turísticos que, en inglés y castellano, exhortaban a visitar España... toda una proeza para los filipinos de la época que no fuesen millonarios...

Remarks |
|
|
Built in 1932, G-ACTF was the 9th of 42 Swifts to be built. It was originally registered to Alban Ali as VT-ADO 'The Scarlet Angel' and spent the first part of its life in India. Sold to George Errington who rebuilt it and re-registered the aircraft as G-ACTF on May 24 1934. Purchased by the Shuttleworth Collection in August 1996. During 1998 it was overhauled and restored to its original factory condition and paint scheme. However engine problems have kept it away from the display scene since then, but it should fly again soon.
