YU-SAO Spartan Cruiser
II
(c/n 6)
Three Spartan Cruisers were flown by Aeroput, the national airline of
Yugoslavia, one of which
was licence-built in the Zmaj aircraft factory. YU-SAO. named
'Susak' was the former G-ACMW
and reached Belgrade
in April 1934. The above hangar shot is from the Djordje Nokolic
collection.
Produced at the Saro factory on the Isle of Wight in the early 1930s, I
personally thought that it
was a particularly
ugly aircraft! Kind of an early day Drover.
