Wapiti J9743 on the North West Frontier.

This is one of a series of photographs of Wapiti J9743 that is in my D.C.L.I. album. Presumably salvageable but I would like to know the date and the location if possible. Probably near Razmak.

 

From J Series (Air Britain) (R Sturtivivant / J J Halley)

PD Sealand 24.1.30, Dispatched for shipment 20.3.30, AD Drigh Road 25.3.30, 27 Sqdn - 6.30-1.32, 20 Sqdn 5.32, 60 Sqdn, 20 Sqdn 1935, later 5 Sqdn 5.38-6.38 even though noted as DBER 29.7.35 (The last 5 Sqdn info is added with an exclmation mark suggesting it doesnt jell with the DBER date) Says DBER - that I think is Deteriorated Beyond Economic Repair.. but outside of that no prang is recorded...

Many thanks for the information, it is appreciated. Please feel free to use the photograph on your website if you want to.

 

Another photograph from a different angle. It possibly overshot the runway on landing.

 

J-9746 seems to have had a similar problem.

 

I have a photo of Wapiti J9746 as well
J9746

Also J Serials says this. But i believe the photo above and in your collection likely shows an earlier accident.
