Two Chilton Monoplanes at Old Warden

[@rogerwilco4736]

Arguably the most beautiful light aircraft ever designed

No argument from me. I love these little blighters.

Certainly for the period. A very nice looking machine.

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.
