Nice find Leendert

No idea where Mobiloil had their HQ in the 1930s, but London feels more plausible than Brussels.

It is stated under the photo, it was taken over by Club de Aviateurs de Bruxelles in 1933, but I cannot find any OO registration for it. Did they use it with its US registration all the way up to 1939?

Finally the text says it returned to England and became a Staff transport with the RAF. I cannot find a single impressment/purchase in 1939-40 which would match that statement. Can't believe it flew with RAF still in its US civil registration.

What actually happened to it??

Cheers
Stig
