Hello,
I would be grateful to hear of any pieces of information retalting to the British built 35HP Green aero engines as manufcatured circa 1909-1910. Examples of this type of engine were fitted to early british aircraft. I am particularly keen to understand whetehr any data exists which states engine with serial no ??? was fitted to given aircraft

You may already have seen it, but there is some information about Green engine survivors at least in the book ‘Power for the Pioneers: The Green and E.N.V. Aero Engines’ by Tagg

Possibly the last use of the Green engine (modernised) was in the Avro Baby and a small number of these were built at Peterborough by Peter Brotherhood and Co,(a well known engine manufacturer) whose records may still be in existance in the Peterborough achives.

I can see the old Brotherhood site from my office window – and the old Sage Aircraft watertower. Brotherhoods still exist – albeit in a different form – when we were putting together British Light Aeroplanes I searched for the Brotherhood/Green files out of curiosity with no luck. Found lots of original Sage Aircraft and Aeronatical Corp of Great Britain material though!

A Green engine is on show at the Fleet Air Arm Museum if thats any help, I must admit I know no details about it.
