I believe this aircraft was flown by my uncle A.N. Kingwill. O.B.E. A.F.C. Capt R.F.C. W/C R.A.F. at the 1924 trials. He donated the propeller of the Wee Bee to the Shuttleworth collection, and I gave them his pilots, navigators, and W/op licenses. I don't know what happened to his log-books, but believe the Royal Aero Club or G.A.P.N. may hve them.

Do you have any comments about this aircraft ?
