Two Chilton Monoplanes at Old Warden

Two Chilton Monoplanes flew together at last night's Shuttleworth Collection evening display. Lovely aeroplanes and great flying!

Arguably the most beautiful light aircraft ever designed

No argument from me. I love these little blighters.

What a great little aircraft. Perfect for my 1930's adventure story set in Madagascar. Yes, I will give credit to the de Havilland technical school. But I will change the engine, for something with a touch more Oomph. May be V6 100 bhp Ford.

What engine does it have, is it a four cylinder?

[@marktucker7454]

@ The original Chiltons had a 30hp Carden-Ford 4-cylinder water-cooled engine. It was suggested, rumoured that an air-cooled 35hp, flat 6 Porsche engine was to be fitted. But this was dropped due to cost and politics.

I love this plane.... but for "modern people" it needs to be widened to 28 inches and fly with a VW power plant. I can only imagine 85hp in this plane. What is Never Exceed any way...? All the Best, Thanks for posting...

I hate P.A. comments on airshows! Sound of the engine and propeller is of the same importance as the look and flight of the plane.
