The de Havilland T.K.4 was a 1930s British single-seat racing monoplane designed and the built by students of the de Havilland Technical School.
[edit]Design and development
The T.K.4 was built by students at Stag Lane Aerodrome in 1937 with the aim of building the smallest possible aircraft around the 140 hp (104 kW) de Havilland Gipsy Major II.[1] It was a low-wing monoplane with a conventional retractable landing gear and had a variable-pitch propeller and was fitted with slots and flaps.[1] The only T.K.4, registered G-AETK, was first flown on the 30 July 1937. It was 9th in the 1937 Kings Cup Race at a speed of 230.5 mph.[2][1] The aircraft crashed on 1 October 1937 killing the pilot R.J. Waight while he was attempting a 100 km class record.[1]
The situation may not have been helped by the addition of 1,000 lb of lead ballast in the nose against the wishes of Tarrant.
