Saw this aircraft being trailered through Wolverhampton this afternoon, presumably from its home at Halfpenny Green, Bobbington. Any news on its destination and/or purpose for its move?

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?
