The Thruxton Jackaroo was designed
as a four-seat cabin general purpose biplane, the original tandem
two-seat Tiger Moth fuselage was widened to allow side-by-side
seating for 4 people. It was marketed as "the cheapest four-seat
aircraft in the world". The first conversion first flew
on 2 March 1957. Eighteen Tiger Moths were converted by Jackaroo
Aircraft Limited between 1957 and 1959 and one aircraft was converted
by Rollason's in 1960. The aircraft could be fitted with an optional
crop spraying gear. One converted aircraft was further modified
as a single-seat agricultural aircraft, but with little interest
in the variant the aircraft was converted back to a Mk. 1. |
