Central Centaur V & VIII

[hesham]

Hi,

the Central Centaur V was similar construction and appearance
to the Centaur IV,it was powered by one 110 hp Anzani engine,
it was side-by-side two seater but with removable decking for
rapid conversion to four-seater,its dimensions were span 36ft
6in,length 26ft 6in and weight 1,200 1b,max speed 80 mph.
The Central Centaur VIII was a triplane ,and may be it was
developed of Centaur IIA,no more info about the last type.

The Central Centaur VIII C/n 400, had the registration G-EAST allocated to it on 26th April 1920, but construction was abandoned.

Regards Bailey.
