 | A three-view drawing of Babe III (600 x 618) |
| Barry, 10.11.2015 18:34 Another Frank Barnwell design for a small low cost sporting plane. There were only two ever built and flown. The Babe I which because of a shortage of power plants had to resort to a pre-war Viale 35 h.p. 5 cylinder engine which had a tendency to overheat after about 30 minutes flying time was replaced by a 60 h.p. Le Rhone 7B2. This and the second aeroplane to fly had this power plant, and became known as the Babe III. The still born Babe II was to have the Ounce engine. A radical plan to change the III into a mono plane never reached fruition. One can only presume with all the surplus war stock available the selling of a new sport plane was not going to be easy and so it was not! reply |
