Scope and content

An aeroplane on the ground at an unknown aerodrome. The plane is seen from a distance but is very similar to a Dornier Do-X seaplane. The Do-X was financed by the German Transport Ministry and built in a specially designed plant at Altenrhein, on the Swiss portion of Lake Constance, in order to circumvent the Treaty of Versailles which forbade any aircraft exceeding set speed and range limits to be built in Germany after World War I. The plane was completed in 1929. In his diary A J Sylvester writes that the Lloyd George entourage witnessed it taking off on a trial flight on Sept 4th 1929.
