Purchased from Ipswich cartoonist Will Mitchell by Ken Woodrow and Mike Adams and donated to QAM. It was the intention of Mr. Mitchell that the aeroplane be flown but it was built with little or no supervision by the DoA and consequently could not be flown. While not an accurate replica it is an interesting display. The aircraft was originally fitted with a Volkswagen engine and painted in a garish red/green colour scheme with the name "Red Rosy". The Scout has been used mainly as a mobile display to support shopping centre displays etc. | |||||||||
