Globe Swift GC-1A
Designed by R. S. Johnson in 1940, the Swift’s birth is not without its complexities. With the intervention of WW2, the design did not actually reach certification until May, 1946 when it had been the subject of several design modifications carried out by K. H. “Bud” Knox.
In the late 40’s Globe was to become insolvent and Temco acquired the type certificate and went on to build further aircraft.
Temco modified the Swift to become the first post-war military trainer but it lost the race... Designed by R. S. Johnson in 1940, the Swift’s birth is not without its complexities.

Full production ceased in 1951 but spare parts and service items continued to be produced by Universal Aircraft Industries until 1979.
