SIMMONDS AIRCRAFT LTD.

UK

Formed September 1928, in which year 0. E. (later Sir Oliver) Simmonds designed and built the Spartan two-seat biplane. Outwardly conventional, but planned for "Spartan" economy (e.g. interchangeable wings and ailerons, and rudder interchangeable with elevator). At Southampton, Hampshire, produced 49 examples, mostly for export, but some for National Flying Services Ltd. One made many Arctic flights. (See Spartan Aircraft Ltd.) Back to the letter S
