FS2004 Shorts Scion.

The Short S.16 Scion was a 1930s British two-engine, cantilever monoplane built by Short Brothers between 1933 and 1937. Altogether five Scions and 17 Scion II aircraft were built and they provided useful service to operators working from small airstrips/water courses in many parts of the globe, including Europe, the Near and Middle East and Australia. At least 14 were impressed into the RAF during the Second World War, providing pilot ferry services, anti-aircraft co-operation and radar calibration duties. Of the civilian Scions, at least two were still operating in Australia in 1966, one having been re-engined with de Havilland Gipsy Minor engines. The Scion was developed as a light transport for 5-6 passengers. The first flight of the prototype aircraft (G-ACJI) took place on 18 August 1933. First published on Britsim.
