Surrey AL.1

The one-off Surrey AL.1 G-AALP was a side-by-side trainer designed by Joe Bewsher and powered by a 95 hp Salmson A.C.7 radial engine. It was built by Surry Flying Services at Croydon in 1929 and registered to F.J.Grant for a couple of years before returning to its maker.

The biplane was unused at Croydon for several years before being sold to Bertram Arden in May 1938 and kept at Honiton Clyst, Devon. It was noted still intact there in early 1974.
