For the Trivia Buffs; What other aircraft used the Alvis engine?
Only one built; The DHC2 Mark 2 had the Alvis engine.
Lighter than the Pratt 985, with 100 more horsepower; the aircraft had better performance; likely even better than the first Turbo Beavers, and with less fuel consumed.
When the British Army decided to buy Beavers, they were going to use the Alvis engine; ultimately, it was going to cost more, so they went with the Pratt.
The only Mark 2 Beaver was owned by a DeHavilland exec. Not sure where it is now, but it was pristine.
