Southend Flying Services Ltd 1934-ish

My complete cigarette card "Album of Aeroplanes (Civil)" issued by Players cigarettes published about 1938 shows the Shorts Scion with a registration G-ACJI. After a descriptive text it says one of these acft operated between Southend and Rochester and "successfully carried thouands of passengers between the two towns". I now know the type was built at Rochester, and somewhere else I found reference to a Scion G-ADDN being operated by Southend Flying Services Ltd, but nothing more.

Do any Southenders (or Rochesterians) know anything of this operator or did the sands of time and clouds of war wash all away?
