This is the Pitts
S1-D that Peter Leggo built over a number of years near Cambridge, in
between various geological expeditions abroad. First flights were from
Duxford Airfield and the aircraft is now based at Leicester Airport.The engine
is a 180 hp Lycoming with Bendix fuel injection. The spruce for the
project came from James Latham Ltd in London, while the hardware was
purchased from B&F in the USA.
Peter's requirements are now for a
four-seat Jodel for European travel, so he has reluctantly decided to sell
the aeroplane. The new owner is Shawn Doyle, and the aircraft remains at
Leicester.
