Aerocar, A Portsmouth venture embraced by an Indian Maharajah – Christopher Balfour

Aerocar – Christopher Balfour  – Lionel Balfour and his colleague, Francis Luxmoore, sought to develop a radical aeroplane to challenge the cumbersome  pre-war aircraft that were available in the 1930s. With convenience and comfort in mind, the Aerocar prototype G-AGTG was tested and orders started rolling in. All they needed to do was finance it.

Their journey took them to the United States, Canada and then India, where the support and generosity of the Jam Saheb of Nawanagar, a maharajah of one of the princely states, helped them with their endeavour. But with the onset of Partition, the Aerocar’s future was doomed.

Using previously unseen documents, and notes from his father’s archives, Christopher Balfour tells the story of this very
British endeavour.

A Portsmouth Living Legend – Ian Tungatt

…So now it was on. I squared up on the cobbles, showed him my right hand, waving it out there. He looked straight at it and that was my cue – you’re going over. I took the weight on my back foot, ready to throw my bomb and my leg slipped off the cobble stone. I stood up and my leg gave way. The pain was so excruciating it was unbearable.
