The point I was making was that being able to use the readily available PW power plants, as opposed to hens teeth Bristol Taurus engines was a big help in seeing a Beaufort get into the air. I realise UK production used both engine types and in Australia just the PW.

Richard the PW1830’s were used on the Australian built ones.
Warbirds online by John Parker does some really good and informative updates.

Thanks for posting, it does look as if the project is progressing well. The use of PW R-1830 engines and spares must be a big advantage helping towards getting one of these flyable.
