Max Holste MH1521 Broussard This fine example of the Broussard still carries its Armee de l'Air markings , but is on the British Register. Conceived as an artillery observation, light transport or utility aircraft it served in many of the same roles as the Canadian DHC-2 Beaver. Indeed, it looks just like a twin-tailed Beaver! Powered by the ubiquitous Pratt & Whitney R-985 Wasp Junior radial engine of 450hp, was a rugged type that saw service in the Algerian War. #AlgerianWar #France #Algeria #radialengine #military #aircraft #avgeek #Britain #PrattandWhitney #DHC2 #Beaver #utilityaircraft #aviation #Canadian ##WaspJunior #MaxHolste #Broussard
