PAR / Parks Alumni Racer Special / Trefethan TRW Special

PAR Special

Designed by George Owl, the PAR Special N90522 of 1950 was a single place racer powered by an 85hp Continental C-85 pusher, with a variable-incidence wing.

The 1952 TRW Special midget racer N2948 was built partially from the PAR Special. Raced as a midget racer ‘Mixmaster’ with Y-tail and aft-mounted prop, after unsuccessful competitions, it was rebuilt in 1952 as Trefethan TRW Special, using the wings, aft fuselage and tail.
