K-126    Westland Limousine I                                    (c/n  WAC.1)

                                 

                                     This Westland Aircraft Ltd image is only one of two that I have of "K-" registered machines. This
                                     series was allotted temporarily to new aircraft in 1919.  K-126, the prototype, became G-EAFO
                                     shortly afterwards.  Production of the Limousine appears to have been limited to seven aircraft,
                                     including the prototype seen above.   The six production machines were known as Limousine IIs.
                                     One of these (G-EAMV) went to Newfoundland with Australian adventurer/aviator Sidney Cotton.
                                     K-126 (G-EAFO) was destroyed in a spectacular crash at R.A.F. Netheravon when it was struck
                                     by a Fairey Fawn whilst the latter was taking off.
