Grumman Widgeon production was continued by SCAN in France from 1948. The venture was not a success and 29 incomplete aircraft were shipped to the USA, where one was converted by Pacific Aircraft Engineering Co. (Sun Valley, CA) to PACE Gannet with Lycoming R-680-E3 engines. It is the aircraft seen here, carrying the "PACE Gannet" name on the nose. At least 15 others were similarly converted by Lee Mansdorf's Gannet Aircraft Inc (also in Sun Valley, CA), which were marketed as the Gannet Super Widgeon. They offered a choice of Continental W-670 or Lycoming R-680-E3 radials, or Lycoming GO-435 flat six engines. Photo from: ETH-Bibliothek Zürich
