- The Supermarine Sparrow was a British two-seat light aeroplane designed by R.J. Mitchell and built at Supermarine's works at Woolston, Southampton. It first flew on 11 September 1924. After being rebuilt in 1926, it was re-designated Sparrow II. The Sparrow was Supermarine's earliest landplane. It was a wooden two-seat sesquiplane powered by a 35 horsepower (26 kW) Blackburne Thrush. It had foldable wings with different cross sections; to allow the aircraft to take-off and land over short distances, Mitchell gave the wings had a high angle of attack. The Sparrow behaved erratically during tests. It was entered for the 1924 Two-Seater Light Aeroplane Competition, but suffered engine failure during the competition. A substitute engine failed during the race, forcing the pilot to land at short notice, and the plane was eliminated. Its successor, Sparrow II, was a parasol monoplane was a heavier and slower aeroplane. It was entered for the 1926 competition at Lympne, but having made a force landing near Beachy Head, was eliminated. Mitchell went on to use Sparrow II to test new aerofoil designs for the Air Ministry. It was subsequently sold to a flying club, and was scrapped in1933. (en)
