I used to live in the same road that the Redwing factory was located.About 2 years ago I bought a book that descibes the development of the Robinson Redwing and also gives details of the factory's wartime repairs of various aircraft and manufacture of aircraft spares.It mentions that the Redwing company owned Gatwick airport in the early 1930's

Only 12 Redwing planes were constructed, one for the comedy actor Will Hay, and I think only one survives and is located at Redhill airport.

The reference on the rear of the book is ISBN 0 9519808 07 It was published by Mrs Philis Lane and printed by Michael Heath Limited based at Reigate in 1992

The book is titled 'The Redwing story' by John Lane

Dear Sir or Madam
I have an original sales brochure from 1931.My Grandfathers sister was married to Percy Robinson, I think. My Mothers sister is still alive and living in Claverdon, Warwickshire. My Auntie Betty would still be able to give someone some history.

Do you have any comments about this aircraft ?
