It's a mystery to me why the Air Ministry didn't order this into production, it was almost identical to the Miles Magister, which was ordered to a later specification, although it had better performance and had a lighter all-up weight, and with its party piece, Handley Page leading-edge slots interconnected to its flaps, had a very low stalling speed of 40 mph (wiki says 42, my copy of Putnam's Parnall Aircraft says 40 so I'm going with that).

It's a pretty thing, too. The Magister for comparison, also has simple clean looks.

ASIATIC FLEET SEAPLANE 1939 Original Photo "HERON'S PLANE" at Chefoo CHINA | eBay

This is an original gelatin silver photo [4-3/8" x 2-5/8"] ~ this seaplane photo was captioned: "Heron's Plane" ~ USS Heron (AM-10) was launched as a Lapwing Minesweeper, but was later re-classified as a Seaplane Tender (AVP-2) in early 1936.

A really nice shot! Despite what the seller and/or photographer noted, based on the markings I suspect the photo was take between July 1928 and May 1929. VS-5 was activated on 1 July 1928 and inactivated in July 1937. Originally assigned to Scouting Fleet's light cruiser divisions two and three, it was assigned directly to Light Cruiser Division Two (with LCD-3 aircraft reassigned to Scouting Six) in July 1929. The only division detailed to the Asiatic Fleet during this period was LCD-2 (May 1928-May 1929).

5-S-5 and 5-S-6 were assigned to Detroit at this time, and both aircraft returned to the US with the ship at the end of the Far-East assignment. The mention of Heron in the caption might have been based on aircraft repairs aboard that ship, or a simple visit there. Again, nice photo - thanks for posting it!

Cheers,


Dana
