Following our high speed photometric survey of faint cataclysmic variables, two CVs were recognised to be helium-transferring double degenerates; these are ES Cet (Рorb – 620.21144 s) and 2003aw (Psh= 2041.5 s). We have now observed ES Cet photometrically for over two years in order to follow the evolution of the orbital period. We oiler an alternative; explanation for the nature of V407 Vul (which was classified as an ultra-compact together with RX J0806 and ES Cet); this will take V407 Vul out of the AM CVn classification.
