- Brief Description:
- Photographic negative with an image of Major Cotton's Arctic Plane crated on top of a lorry (owned by Supermarine Aircraft), arriving at Albert Dock, Hull. There are men gathered around the truck. From other images of 'Major Cotton's Plane' it can be seen that the aircraft registration number is I-AAPI. The aircraft was acquired by Samuel Courtauld in 1931 in an attempt to locate his son, August, 'missing' in Greenland during the British Arctic Air Route Expedition. Sidney Cotton was commissioned to act as pilot. The phototograph was taken by Harry Cartlidge.
