ER206.

Spit' MkV, ER206. Test-flown by Cheif Test Pilot, A.A.D.Henshaw 27/08/42, on a 35min Test-Flight from VACBAF.
There were a lot of 'Presentation Aircraft' around that period. By this time, they were just using a set of simple military stencils about 3" to apply the name to the fuel-tank cover.

ER810, a MkV Trop, was test-flown by A.A.D.H on the 14/10/42 for 40min, and was named 'INCA'.

At this time, a/c were reaching the Flight-Test Dept at VACBAF in a very disjointed sequence of serial-numbers. These MkV's were randomly fitted with both DH and Rotol airscrews.
