SE5a vs SE5
« on: May 09, 2024, 02:07:53 AM »
 Getting towards the end of the SE5 build now and I thought it'd be fun to get an SE5a out of the cabinet to compare side by side.
(Hadn't realised it was quite so dusty - and a broken wire - oh well that's next on list to fix!)

Anyway, I think this shows quite well the difference between the big square nose of the 200hp Hispano SE5a and the slimmer more graceful nose of the 150hp Hispano SE5.

Lovely pair side by side Sandy.
(Reminds me I must get back to that Pegasus Se5 at some point) ;)
