Mike.
Right manufacturer but not the Overstrand. This Type was designed to meet a requirement from Imperial Airways.

Only two ever built both came to a sad end. Britomart G-ACOY crashed on landing at Evere Airport, Brussels on 25th October 1935 and Boadicea G-ACOX was lost over the channel on 25th September 1936.
Sorry for the delay in replying.

Clint

As you say we have had a very many cockpits since you started the thread. Some 390 I believe. However, we certainly have not had this one the Yakovlev Yak-3.
