  • AN AUSTRALIAN PRODUCTION: The Wicko "Wizard" (Cirrus II engine) was designed by Mr. G. N. Wikner and does 120 m.p.h. Mr. Wikner is now looking for suitable opportunities in this country.
    Wikner's third powered design was the low-wing Wizard with 80 hp Cirrus II upright in-line engine, two seats in tandem with cover over the passenger in front, and fixed spatted undercarriage. The wing is wire-braced.

  • Wikner's second aeroplane, the Lion, with the passenger cabin under the wing and the pilot behind the wing in an open cockpit, used the same Anzani engine. It ended the career of the Lion when a con-rod came through the crankcase on a practice flight.
