Регистрационный номер: K-100, G-EAAB Pictured at Hendon in the summer of 1919 is the first aeroplane in Britain, and possibly the world, to receive a civil registration. The K- system of registration was used for just one month from May 1919, beginning with K-100 and ending with K-175. K-100 was allocated to the D.H.6 seen here being started with the aid of a Hucks starter. Generally flown at Hendon by Capt Gerald Gathergood, the D.H.6 was re-registered G-EAAB when the new system was introduced on July 22, 1919.
