Yep thats the one, AJD imported it, took the engine and sold on the project.

Guess that shows the rarity of Scarabs in the UK, having to import an aircraft just for its engine??

I suppose the Fairchild F24W Argus were the most common Scarab engines ever brought to the UK?

They were a little more common here in Australia due to the 200 CAC Wackett Trainers built and other spare engines to support them, but very difficult to find one in Australia now days too.
