The Twin Pioneer was a twin-engined light general-purpose aircraft suitable for civil and military use. The prototype first flew on 25 June 1955, followed by the first production aircraft on 28 April 1956.
By the spring of 1964 a total of 91 Twin Pioneers had been built for service with 15 operators in 20 countries, including 32 CC.1s and 7 CC.2s for the RAF. The final production version was the Series 3 which could be equipped for a wide variety of duties in addition to normal passenger and freight transport roles. These included photographic survey, geophysical survey, executive transport and air ambulance (six stretchers and five sitting casualties/attendants) versions.
The general-purpose military Twin Pioneer was operated by the RAF in troop (13), paratroop (11) and freight transport, casualty evacuation, photographic survey, supply-dropping and light bombing roles.
