SCOTTISH AVIATION TWIN PIONEER

Title: Scottish Aviation Twin Pioneer No’s 1 and 2

Conceived as a larger development of the earlier Pioneer single engined STOL aircraft, the Twin Pioneer was in fact an all-new aircraft and first flew in 1955. Easily recognisable by its triple fins the aircraft was one of the few post-WW2 aircraft to feature a high wing and fixed under-carriage.

By the time production ended 94 examples of three series had been produced. The Series 1 used 550 hp Alvis Leonides 514/8 engines, the Series 2 used 600 hp Pratt & Whitney R-1340 engines, and the Series 3 used 650hp Alvis Leonides 531/8 engines. The RAF was the largest user with 39 examples, of both Series 1 (CC.Mk.1) and Series 3 (CC.Mk.2).

We offer two titles for the Twin Pioneer. The first title includes both the civil manufacturer’s Crew’s Notes and the RAF flight manual (titled Pilot’s Notes) for the Twin Pioneer Series 1, plus a manufacturer’s brochure and an air-test reprint from “Flight International”. The second title contains the civil manufacturer’s Crew’s Notes for the Series 2 and the RAF flight manual for the Twin Pioneer Series 1 and 3, plus a manufacturer’s brochure for the Series 3. Both titles have been scanned from the original manuals and retain any colour pages. Each title is US$9.95.
