Summary edit

DescriptionPratt & Whitney R-1830 engines for Beaufort bombers in Australia c1943.jpg	Production of RAAF Beaufort torpedo bombers, built under licence from a Bristol design, and assembled at the Department of Aircraft Production (DAP) plant in Fishermans Bend, Melbourne (Australia), circa 1943. The Australian Beauforts were fitted with U.S. designed Pratt & Whitney R-1830-92 Twin Wasp engines, built under licence at the Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation Engine plant at Lidcombe, New South Wales. You can see the round C.A.C. manufacturer's badge visible on the front case of the engine in the middle of the picture, which confirms that these are not U.S. built engines. The single seat, Australian designed and built C.A.C. Boomerang fighter aircraft on the other hand, were fitted with U.S. built R-1830-90D engines, as these two speed blower variants of the R-1830 were not built in Australia. This photo of these model S1C3G engines was most likely taken at the DAP assembly plant at Fishermans Bend, Victoria as one of the engines is being installed into a Beaufort engine mount and firewall assembly known as a QEC (Quick Engine Change).
