The Parnall Elf is a British two seat light touring aircraft of the 1920s.

Built by George Parnall & Co. the Elf was the last aircraft designed by Harold Bolas before he left the company to go to the United States.

[1] The Elf was a biplane of wood and fabric construction with staggered wings set well forward on the fuselage as a feature to assist crew escape in an emergency.

The wings were unusually braced with 'vee' interplane struts which dispensed with any flying wires[1] and could be folded for ease of hangarage.

An Elf placed fifth in the 1930 King's Cup Air Race out of a field of 88 entrants.
