Taylor Watkinson Dingbat

05/31/2009. Remarks by Johan Visschedijk: "The single-seat Dingbat was designed and constructed by C.W. Taylor and E.T. Watkinson at Teddington, Middlesex, UK, and powered by a 32 hp Carden-Ford four-cylinder liquid-cooled in-line engine, it flew for the first time from nearby Heston on August 2, 1935.

It was reregistered five times to subsequent owners, before it was damaged in an accident at Headcorn on May 19, 1975, in the CAA Registry marked as "destroyed" on June 18; its CofA was withdrawn. However, the aircraft has since changed hands another three times, the last time on November 29, 2006."
