In an article entitled "Wings of Peace" by John Stroud, published in the November 1987 issue of Aeroplane Monthly, John describes the Vickers Vulcan. The Vickers Type 61 Vulcan was a single-engined,single-bay biplane transport aircraft and often ranked as the ugliest aeroplane built in Britain...
G-EBDH was the second Vickers Type 61 Vulcan. Delivered to Instone Air Line 20 June 1922, it was substantially damaged in an accident at Oxted, Surrey, in August 1922. Returned to Vickers at Brooklands, Weybridge, Surrey (re-registered to them 20 June 1923) and withdrawn from use - presumably scrapped for spares at Brooklands
Registration G-EBDH cancelled by the UK Civil Aviation Authority as "lapsed" on 14 July 1923
NOTE: No records found to establish the exact date of the crash. However, unofficial reports point to it being at a date between the 1 and 31 August 1922...hence the "nominal" date of 31 August 1922. (Pending confirmation of the exact date)
