Description

Privately owned and based at Old Warden with the Shuttleworth Collection. c/n PFA/77-10240. On display in Hanger 7 at Old Warden, on the day of the 2013 Autumn Airshow. 06-10-2013.

The details below are from the Shuttleworth Collection Website:-

The Hawker Cygnet was designed for the 1924 Lympne Light Aeroplane Competitions for two seat aircraft organised by the Air Ministry. The Cygnet was Sydney Camm's (later Sir Sydney) first design and Hawkers built two aircraft for the competitions, later registered G-EBMB and G-EBJH. These aircraft did very well in the competitions, despite suffering a number of problems. Both aircraft were also entered into the 1926 Lympne Trials and G-EBMB won this competition and the Daily Mail £3000 prize. This aircraft survives today and is preserved by the RAF Museum. G-EBJH, however, crashed in 1927 and was destroyed.
