Spartan 7W Executive ‘NC17615’ by Alan Wilson
Via Flickr:
c/n 7W-14 Built 1938 The Spartan Executive has been described as the most sought after of antique aeroplanes. Only 34 were built, between 1936 and 1940, and remarkably 21 still survive. Owners of the type included Howard Hughes and King Ghazi of Iraq. This example was built in 1938 as NC17615. In September that year she was reregistered as NX17615 and flown in that year’s Bendix Trophy Air Race by John Hinchley and Charles Lajotte. Wearing the race number 72, she achieved 177.449mph before returning to the Spartan Aircraft Company that November as NC17615. In February 1942 she was impressed into military service as a UC-71 with the serial 42-38368. In October 1944 she became NC49075 with the Airpath Instrument Company. In March 1970 she became N111PB and then briefly returned to her original N17615 in July 1973 before being registered as N22JP in March 1974 and then finally back to N17615 again in January 1975. Now UK based, she is seen landing after displaying at the Shuttleworth Collection’s 2022 Season Premiere Air Show. Old Warden, Bedfordshire, UK. 1st May 2022
