Pilatus piston Porter

The engine on the piston Porter was the six cylinder 340 h.p. supercharged Lycoming GSO-480-B1.
Whilst working in Germany in 1973 I flew the Dornier Do27 & the Focke Wulf P149D, both of which had the normally aspirated Lycoming GO-480-B1, developing 270 h.p.
I also flew that Porter engine in early model Queen Airs but mostly operated late model B65-B80's (RFDS) with the 380 h.p. Lycoming IGSO-540-1AD's.

Cheers.
