Photo Comment

VH-XWS is seen here in its original configuration with two belt-driven propellers and a Continental engine buried in the fuselage. It was later fitted with a pylon-mounted engine like a Lake but with a tractor prop. Development of the FSRW-1 continued into the 1990s but it has now been shelved.
