Summary
| Description |
c/n 101. The Spartan Cruiser was a three-engined British passenger airliner from the mid-1930s and was developed from the one-off Saro-Percival Mailplane. After a single Cruiser I prototype, the refined MkII was more popular and thirteen were built, twelve in the UK and one in Yugoslavia. G-ACYK was one of only three of the later Cruiser III model built. From August 1936 flew with Northern and Scottish Airways, based at Renfrew Airport in Glasgow. On 14th January 1938, while on a non-passenger flight delivering film reels to Campbeltown, the aircraft suffered an altimeter fault and crashed into high ground at Hill of Stake, North Ayeshire. Both crew survived the crash without major injury. The stripped fuselage was recovered to the museum in 1973 and is the only surviving section of any Spartan Cruiser. Conserved but not restored, it is on display in the Civil Aviation Hangar at the National Museum of Flight (part of National Museums Scotland). East Fortune Airfield, East Lothian, Scotland. 13th September 2017 |
