| The Union Flags painted on the deck are neutrality markings for the Spanish Civil War, suggesting this ship was going to operate off the Spanish coast or through the Straight of Gibraltar. |

Thanks Dave, we'll update the catalogue, and post the new record here in due course. You may be interested to know that the original Aerofilms Ltd Register entry is "British Aluminium Ltd Works at Warrington, Lancs". Yours, Katy Britain from Above Cataloguing Team Leader |
