Westland Wessex trimotor aircraft, 1930

The model began as a Westland IV and was first flown on 21 February 1929 at which time it was powered by 95 hp Cirrus engines. This prototype was registered as G-EBXK and was certified for a crew of two and four passengers. The second example had Hermes engines and a metal rear fuselage. The third, G-ABAJ, was modified to take the 105 hp Armstrong Siddeley Genet Major engines as well as some other changes and became the prototype Westland Wessex. The two Westland IVs were subsequently converted to Wessexes, giving 10 aircraft in total.

This one shown is in Sabena of Belgium registration, although the houses in the background look more British than Belgian.  Sabena sold their aircraft to Cobham Air Routes Ltd in 1935.
