DH82EH – Thanks very much for the I.D on the engine in the photo I posted. It makes a lot of sense then to have it displayed beside the Hawk Major as it is correct for that type (and a few others, of course!)

Need your expertise again, Mark. I’ve just found the photo I was looking for that I took at Montrose a few years ago. What type engine is this? It had been moved from its original position in the Museum to be displayed alongside the recently arrived Miles Hawk Major.

G-AFPN must have been re-engined at some point if that’s the case, Tonk. It certainly used to have a Gipsy Minor!

Edit – Still does according to the G-INFO website.

Apologies for this late one. I was looking to see if I had photographed a Gipsy engine at Midland Air Museum, Coventry in 2022 but it turns out it was a Cirrus instead!

I’ve not found anything among my photos regarding a Gipsy Minor at Montrose, Mark, so I may be wrong there. Wiki lists a Gipsy Queen so maybe that’s what I am (mis)remembering.

Photos below of the Gipsy II at Dumfries taken this year.

Also to add to your list there is Moth Minor G-AFPN (Gipsy Minor) which, last I heard, was airworthy at Shobdon.

Rapide G-ADAH has moved from Manchester to Hooton Park.

There’s a Gipsy II at the Dumfries and Galloway Aviation Museum. If I remember correctly Montrose Air Station Heritage Centre has a sectioned Gipsy Minor but definitely put a question mark on that one meantime and I’ll have a search through the pics later.

The Southern Martlet at Shuttleworth has a Genet Major engine rather than a Gipsy.

Cheers Mark. Glad the photo was of use.

I’ve only just noticed that the registration is wrong for the Shuttleworth Collection Desoutter – it is G-AAPZ.

France certainly is quite a large country! Hopefully more information on the Phoenix will emerge in the near future.

So if the location is not so far away from you as originally thought and the terrain doesn’t appear to be as high or difficult to negotiate as the Alps – are you getting the hiking gear out now, AA? 🙂

Thanks Mark. I kept my posts vague as I had a feeling you would be correcting at least one of them! Frustratingly I also caught the Old Rhinebeck Cirrus in a photo too but, being tucked in a far corner of a hangar behind other engines, very little of it is visible. I’ve added the pic below although I doubt it’s of any help to you!

Also the KZ IX Ellehammer replica in the Danmarks Flymuseum at Stauning is listed as having a Cirrus Hermes engine –

Have just been trawling through some of my photos and have found this one taken at the Yorkshire Air Museum, Elvington in 2019 –

Thanks J Boyle. It’s nice to know the Rearwin is still flying as it’s such a lovely, rare aircraft.

Mark – apologies for drip-feeding you these one at a time! The Curtiss-Reid Rambler II replica at the Montreal Aviation Museum in Canada has an original Cirrus engine. Putting together what I’ve read on various websites it appears it was possibly salvaged from a crash site in Saskatchewan? I haven’t managed to find any real detail on the engine unfortunately.

There is a Rearwin Speedster 6000 in the USA which has an American Cirrus Hi-drive (inverted) engine, Mark. I recalled reading about it some time ago and have just located the article again. The Speedster is NC15865 and the engine s/n is 2062. At the time of the article it was airworthy in Washington State but I don’t know if that is still the case.

There is a Youtube video which may be of interest –https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=5pZMY9_lBTw

Hi Terry. I couldn’t get the Facebook link to work but thank you for the info and also for sorting out the confusion over the Cirrus at Hooton Park. Much appreciated.
