14 DH 86 TYPE HISTORY
By the early 1930s, whilst the sun had yet
to set on the British Empire, it was well into

worldwide, highlighted the need for more
swift communication between the ‘Mother
Country’ and the far-fl ung territories on
which the sun ‘never set’.

The French sold it to their Allies without
guns, which was a fat lot of good!
