Model Variants for buyers to consider when purchasing a Hawker Cygnet
The Hawker Cygnet was produced in very limited numbers and no widely recognised production variants with major engine or configuration changes were developed. Surviving records consistently describe the aircraft as a two seat light monoplane powered by the Bristol Cherub engine, built specifically for the Lympne light aircraft competition environment.
