Framed Print of Parnall Heck 2C G-AEGI
Parnall Heck 2C G-AEGI, seen with race number 33 at Elmdon for the 1949 Kings Cup Air Race. On 29 July 1949, G-AEGI flew in the Kings Cup Race at Elmdon airport, finishing 13th at an average speed of 145.5 mph. The following year it flew into 7th place in the same event, held at Wolverhampton (with race number 26), and actually averaged 159 mph as it had done in 1938. Unfortunately this Heck 2C was severely damaged after the race when Spitfire G-AISU collided with it during the Spitfires landing run. The Hecks rear end was smashed, and it was put into a hangar at Wolverhampton, where it languished for some time. It was at one stage offered for sale at lb50.00, this being less than the Gipsy engine was worth, but no-one seemed interested. The machine was still at Wo1verhampton in May 1953, but late that summer its Gipsy engine was removed from the airframe, and G-AEGI was burnt. Date: 1949.
