This sleek Lockheed, now registered as N12EJ, was born in the turbulent times of threatened world war. This plane, then G-AFTL, arrived in Southhampton, England in 1939 and the clever Australian inventor and pilot Sidney Cotton took it on sortie after sortie to photograph Italian and German targets. A designer of color film, Cotton flew as a businessman promoting his product while he daringly took SPY photographs from this very airplane!.
THE LAST CIVILIAN AIRPLANE TO FLY FROM BERLIN BEFORE WWII!
