The Unique Avro 642 VT-AFM 'Star of India'
Only one aircraft of this type was ever built. It was delivered in 1934 for the use of the Viceroy of India who, at the time, was Lord Willingdon. It was taken into military service in 1939 and is believed to have been broken up in 1940 after it had been found that the internal structures of the wings had been eaten away by insects.
This photograph is part of the accumulation of photographs taken by my late father when he was serving in India (mainly in the Khyber Pass area) with the 1st Battalion King's Regiment (Liverpool). It was probably taken in 1936, in Delhi, but there are no notes or descriptions on it. Some of the people in front of the aircraft look like VIPs and there is a flag flying on its nose. I wonder if the tall man wearing a pith helmet, obscuring the 'V' of the registration, could be the Viceroy himself.
