Caption:
- McCarthy Island (seed boat in river). Miss Delphine Reynolds and her pilot, W.G. Pudney, took off from Hanworth on 1 March 1931 in Blackburn Bluebird IV, G-ABGF, for a survey flight down the West African coast, via Tangier to Bathurst, Gambia, where Short floats were fitted. After two and a half months in Sierra Leone the metal airframe had corroded beyond repair.
