Specifications

Bulldog Series 120

A military development of the Pup built by Scottish Aviation at Prestwick Airport. Most were made as two-seaters, although a third 'observer's' seat was an option. Powered by a 200hp Lycoming IO-360-A 1 B6 driving a 6ft 2in diameter Hartzel constant speed two blade prop (HC-C2YK-4F/FC7666A-2). Fuel capacity 32 imperial gallons. Weapons packages included two 28-pound bombs and fourteen unguided 68mm rockets or four 7.62mm machine guns. Guided and heavier missile packs were also available.

These specifications are taken from Con Ser No BH.120/393 supplied to the Hong Kong Royal Auxiliary Air Force, now G-BPCL and the first civilian registered Bulldog G-AXIG.
