Perhaps looking into their registries will give you an indication. I have the SA civil aircraft registry somewhere; will send it to you this afternoon. Gotogonow.

If he is so intent on self-flagellation, he should look into a Heron with the original Gipsy Major Mk-10 4's. (just kidding...

They are not flat engines. Probably REALLY cheap, too. bilbo If he is so intent on self-flagellation, he should look into a Heron with the original Gipsy Major Mk-10 4's. (just kidding...

If the Tri-Islander is the answer, what was the question??? A fellow Australian, Desmond Norman (Brittain-Norman) has a lot to answer for.

As far as I know, the Queens were a DH design, 6 cylinder, and in various outputs from 220HP through to something like 340HP, but don't quote me, it's been a long time since I towed banners in an amazing Mk 1 Groundgripper, the Percival Prentice, or the DH Dragon Rapide with Queen 2's. I did my original AC checkout in a 560 about the same time as I was flying both the above semi-lethal devices, as you might imagine it was somewhat of a revelation to fly my first Aero Commander. When my wife asked me how long I had been think about buying the 500A on retirement from full time flying, the instant answer was " since about 1962" (when I first flew Chris DeBeer's 560) Cheers, Bill H.
