the less powerful (400hp?) Piston Provost

From my Provost T.!. Pilot's Notes, Dick:

INTRODUCTION
The Provost T.I is an all-metal, low-wing monoplane
powered by a 550 b.h.p. Leonides 126 engine driving a
three-bladed, constant speed propeller.

This was in the good old days, when we were allowed +8 lbs boost

and I believe it gave us the same bhp as the Harvard.
