Pobjoy pilots will tell you they neeed two hours engine tinkering for every hour in the air.
As little as that?? It takes that long just to pre-lubricate the rockers for each flight! 😉
The Super Wot though looks like a lovely aeroplane, although according to G-INFO it hasn’t had a permit to fly this year. Might I suggest that the owner is taking it somewhere to receive a little TLC? Hopefully we’ll see it in the air sometime soon.

Isn’t that what they tell their other half’s!

Any aeroplane with a Pobjoy engine is super!

I KNOW Pobjoy is the engine, more familiarly hanging on the front of Comper Swifts!:D

Pobjoy is the engine.
A vintage one at that too.
Heard one on a BA Swallow once & sounded like someone had a cardboard box of bits & was shaking it!

No idea sorry, but a Pobjoy? Is that what makes it a Super Wot?
