Marendaz Trainer at Barton Aerodrome

One of only a hand full of pictures of the only Marendaz Trainer built, picture taken in 1939. This airplane was designed and built at Barton-In-The-Clay (now called Barton-Le-Clay) by Luton Aircraft for Capt’ DMK Marendaz, The owner of Marendaz Special Cars before Marendaz Aircraft and the Bedford School Of Flying based at the Aerodrome.…. You can clearly recognize Sharpenhoe Clappers in the background. This airplane was given to the ATC at RAF Halton in 1940 when all civil aircraft become grounded with the start of WWII… its current location is unknown!
