Summary
| Description |
I wondered at first if this might be a Beech Staggerwing, but realised that the cockpit windscreen was too steep, etc... Thanks to the CAA web site: WACO YKS-7 (modified)
was US N50RA before coming to the UK built 1938 Jacobs R-755-9 engine (which I would guess to be a 755 cu inch 9-cyl radial..?) (A bit more research tells me it's the 245hp upgrade of the 225hp R-755-7 but still 7-cylinder, affectionately known as "Shakin' Jake"...) Presented in perfect order - beautiful!! My compliments to her owner!! |
