'JG was numbered 18 and was piloted by Flt Lt "Rollo" A. de Haga Haig, and 'KK numbered 19 was flown by Sqn Ldr W. Sholto Douglas, this machine flying in its biplane form as the Pixie IIIa. Throughout the trials both Pixies suffered mechanical faults, on September 27th number 18 managed just one circuit before a loss of oil pressure forced it down. On the 28th number 19 was forced down by engine trouble although on the following day it did manage to complete a few laps. September 30th was no better. Flt Lt de Haga Haig was forced down by a broken con-rod, while Sqn Ldr Sholto Douglas had to force land when his Thrush engine seized up. By October the 1st a spare Bristol Cherub engine had been fitted in number 18, and de Haga Haig flew it in MKIII monoplane form in preparation for the forthcoming Grosvenor cup race. He gave a polished display of aerobatics including rolls and loops believed to be the first such maneuvers to be carried out in an aircraft of that class, and a repeat performance was given the following day while Sholto Douglas flew number 19 in the slow speed trials, despite the fact that his engine was still plagued by troubles.
