In 1927, a lightweight two-seater Brownie G-EBJM, built for the Lympne ultralight trials and much modified as a prospective basic trainer for the Air Ministry, had been allocated to Frank Barnwell as his personal runabout.
Barnwell flew it in all weathers, on one occasion remaining in view for over an hour from Filton as he battled enormous easterly headwinds over the Cotswolds. In March 1928, he crashed it at Farnborough, only yards from his decapitated tree.
