| , 17.06.2011 cleats | | Jack Meadows, jackmeadows=shaw.ca, 05.06.2010 2 maybe 4 horizontally opposed cylinder engine - not a Jowett I believe. Whole centre leading edge [and top of windscreen] lifted up for cockpit access. You sat virtually on the floor. I flew one in Ipswich [Straight Corporation]in 1938 several times only because it was cheaper [L1.25 phr] than normal light aircraft [L1.50] in those days. To-day wd probably be called ultralight. | | John Wolf, wolf.family=xtra.co.nz, 24.11.2009 I am interested the engine that was used to power this aircraft. I have been told that a 2 cylinder Jowett engine was used, but have not been able to find any supporting information. Jowett manufactured cars in Bradford from 1910 to 1953. | | David Horsley, delythrh=btinternet.com, 07.08.2009 My father worked for the company that built the Praga in the UK - F Hills and Sons Ltd. The company built the Praga at Trafford Park, Manchester, under licence from a Czech company. It was a 2-seater sports plane. I'm surprised it is not listed as a Czech plane. They operated a flying school using Pragas at Barton Aerodrome, Manchester. One Praga survived until the late 1950's. |
