The image of the Spanish Gull is in Nationalist markings, but is it a Vega Gull? It seems to lack the large rudder horn balance that (I think) all Vegas had from the prototype onwards. See eg the Infobox pic. Though normally reliable sources say the D-series Gull also had a horn balanced rudder, I've never seen a shot in which it is obvious; as here, the rudder leading edge is straight all the way to the top.
Also, the image is dated 1935, but the Vega's first flight was not until December that year. Any thoughts? I think it is a Gull Six. TSRL ( talk) 19:14, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
If it is G-ADEP, then there is a minor date clash; caption says 1935 but Jackson's appendix D says sold abroad August 1936. Anyway, the Civil War (and it's in rebel markings) did not begin until 1936: seems the photo date is wrong. There is a site out there (mislayed the URL for now) that lists and illustrates aircraft of that war, showing G-ADEP with its UK reg and no Spanish markings, but hey don't elaborate.
