I saw one performing in a Tiger Club display at Ramsgate Airport in the 50s.

Two questions:

1. Why Jackaroo?

2. Was it really a four-seater?

Wiki says about 800 lb useful load, so with full fuel - 120 lb?, there is room for four 170 lb people. I know people were skinnier back then, but this seems a bit fanciful. I noticed in the video that one of the passengers was quite young.

I wonder what the performance was like at max. AUW.
