Регистрационный номер: K-158 [3] Austin’s first post-war aeroplane was the little Whippet of 1919, a single-seat sporting biplane designed by J. W. Kenworthy and powered by the 45 h.p. six-cylinder Anzani radial. Five Whippets were built, the first originally being registered K158 and later G-EAGS. The Whippet did away with bracing wires by the use of N-type interplane struts and streamlined steel lift struts.

The little machine is the Austin "Whippet" with 45-50 h.p. 6-cyl. Anzani, designed by John Kenworthy, who later produced the Redwing, and produced in 1919. This machine was the first post-war light plane, but it was, unfortunately, before its time, there was then no demand for such a machine, and it never went into quantity production. We believe the machine is still in existence, or was until quite recently.Самолёты на фотографии: Austin Whippet - Великобритания - 1919

The final Whippet shortly after completion. This aircraft was exported to New Zealand and the fuselage ended up in Australia, but it probably never flew "down under".
