The Link on the Armstrong Siddeley Genet led me to the Westland Widgeon which makes me wonder why that project was not researched and carried on further. It looked like a wonderful type of aircraft although underpowered and in need of a larger radial engine.

This reminds me. I hope to see a Widgeon soon. Local aircraft restorer Ron Souch is working on one as I type.
This is a MK III which I suspect has an inline engine. He also has an Avro Avian in the works, again with an inline engine. An Avian with a Genet engine is being restored elsewhere.

Will be going to the bugsmasher field tomorrow for a visit but today my foot and leg are still just too sore to put a lot of weight on.
Hoping to pick some of those Old Retired Rocking Chair Flying Geezers brains about the types of DeHavilland of Canada Tiger Moths they flew here as one chap told me several years ago he flew the Tiger Moth with a radial engine and a enclosed cockpit right here in Canada.

It was probably on skis with heat in the cockpit but not sure.

Well thanks for the Links and information Doug...Have a Great Day...

Hope your leg is better soon. I've never seen or heard of a Tiger Moth with a radial but that doesn't mean there weren't any. I would love some more information if you can get it.

Good morning Doug...

Was at the bugsmasher field yesterday and of course the chaps I wanted to speak with were absent...

I did meet a gentleman visiting here from Western Canada who had worked here in Canada with the "BCATP" British Commonwealth Air Training Program during the Second World War.

Although he had never seen a radial engine on a Tiger Moth he thought I was talking about this engine.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinner_B-5

That Kinner B5 powered the Fleet Finch which flew alongside the DeHavilland of Canada Tiger Moth.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fleet_Finch

He is not sure but he thought someone after the Second World War tried to put a Kinner B5 on a Tiger Moth but again he could not remember where and he never gave it much thought.

He along with a few other members present all agreed it was probably not a Certified Project and no one else has ever seen a radial engine Tiger Moth in Canada.

That is about as far as I got Doug but will continue to try and dig something up on this topic...

I've taken as reference some civil planes that participated in the Spanish Civil War. Sorry if any of them have been posted:

Spartan Executive, nice new version here.

Vultee V1a, search vultee, FS9

Northrop Gamma, search northrop gamma, FS9 (was equiped as bomber...).

Fairchild 91, in Flight S. - Search Fairchild 91, several versions included spanish one.


Take into consideration the civil versions of Junkers 52, Savoia-Marchetti (there are very good Savoias from S.Meneghini and Manuele Villa).

Also Lockheed Orion and L10 Electra, Airspeed Envoy, Northrop Delta, Junkers G.

In addition to those used in Spain:

Fokker, Breguet, Farman, Shorts, Savoia seaplanes. A special search must be required.
