                                     Henry after winning the second semi-final of an Air Race, circa 1929.   This, presumably, was before
                                     he lost his leg in the crash of the Junkers Junior he was flying in July of 1930.    G-AUAH at the time

                                     The remains were sold in an unairworthy condition to V. Burgess in 1942 although the aircraft never re-
                                     gained a CofA and was stricken from the register in 1945.
