Chilton DW 1, G-AESZ, June 2009

Recording of Chilton DW 1, G-AESZ, Old Warden, June 2009. G-AESZ Constructors number No.DW1/1

The first three aircraft were powered by the 32 h.p. Carden Ford automobile water-cooled engine, lightened and modified for aircraft use. Initial flight trials with the prototype G-AESZ were made by Ranald Porteous at Witney airfield in April 1937, revealing that some minor modifications were needed to the engine and propeller. The first public appearance was made at Southend Airport on 4 September 1937. The second and third aircraft were completed and sold in 1938. The final aircraft was completed in July 1939 and was powered by the new French-built[4] 44 h.p. Train 4T four cylinder inverted inline air-cooled engine. This aircraft (G-AFSV) was designated the D.W.1A, and the Hon. A.W.H. Dalrymple flew it in the Folkestone Aero Trophy Race at Lympne on 5 August 1939, winning at an average speed of 126 mph. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chilton_D.W.1

The DW1 is still being built today by a group of dedicated enthusiasts.

  • The one who created and design the aircraft is such a brilliant person or shall I say, he is so genius.
