The '''Scottish Aviation Twin Pioneer''' was a British [[STOL]] transport aircraft built by [[Scottish Aviation|Scottish Aviation Limited]] at [[Prestwick Airport]], [[Scotland]], during the 1950s. It was designed for both civil and military operators. It was conceived as a twin-engined version of the [[Scottish Aviation Pioneer|Pioneer]] light transport. Both aircraft required "an area only 30m (99ft) by 275m (902ft) in which to operate."<ref>[http://www.rafmuseum.org.uk/cosford/collections/aircraft/scottish-aviation-twin-pioneer-ccii.cfm Royal Air Force Museum – Scottish Aviation Twin Pioneer] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080220220446/http://www.rafmuseum.org.uk/cosford/collections/aircraft/scottish-aviation-twin-pioneer-ccii.cfm |date=20 February 2008 }} rafmuseum.org.uk Retrieved: 11 May 2010</ref>

==Design and development==

Powered by two [[Alvis Leonides]] [[radial engine]]s, the Twin Pioneer was a high-wing cabin monoplane with a triple fin and rudder assembly and fixed tailwheel undercarriage.<ref name="jawa61 p181">Taylor 1961, p. 181.</ref> The prototype Twin Pioneer, registered ''G-ANTP'', first flew at [[Prestwick Airport]] on 25 June 1955.<ref name="Jackson p127">Jackson 1988, p. 127.</ref> Flight trials demonstrated that the aircraft had a very short landing run and the aircraft was displayed at the September 1955 [[Society of British Aircraft Constructors]] [[Farnborough Airshow|Show at Farnborough]].<ref name="ae51 p26">Hemming ''Air Enthusiast'' August to October 1993, p. 26.</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=6GpAAAAAIBAJ&pg=2750%2C6101075 |title=Development of Twin Pioneer |work=The Glasgow Herald |date=22 October 1956 |access-date=24 November 2016}}</ref>

Three pre-production aircraft were built for trials, and sales and demonstrations.<ref name="Jackson p127"/>

In 1958, the 33rd aircraft was used as a prototype for the '''Series 2''' with [[Pratt & Whitney R-1340|Pratt & Whitney Wasp R-1340]] radial engines of which 5 had been ordered by [[Philippine Air Lines]]. In 1959, a '''Series 3''' version was developed to use the improved [[Alvis Leonides|Alvis Leonides 531]] radial engine.<ref name="Jackson p128">Jackson 1988, pp. 128-9.</ref>

Early in its operational life in 1957 the Twin Pioneer suffered two fatal accidents due to fatigue failure which caused the outer panel of the wing to detach from the aircraft in flight.<ref name="ASN1">[http://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=19570830-0 ASN Aircraft accident Scottish Aviation Twin Pioneer 1 JZ-PPX 30 Aug 1957 off Japen Island, Papua New Guinea] aviation-safety.net Retrieved: 28 January 2020</ref><ref name="ASN2">[http://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=19571207-0 ASN Aircraft accident Scottish Aviation Twin Pioneer 1 G-AOEO 7 Dec 1957 Fezzan, Libya] aviation-safety.net Retrieved: 28 January 2020</ref> This issue required significant re-design of the structure and adversely impacted sales.<ref name="BAe1">{{cite web| url = https://www.baesystems.com/en/heritage/scottish-aviation-twin-pioneer| title = Our company > Heritage > Scottish Aviation Twin Pioneer |publisher=[[BAE Systems]] |access-date=17 August 2024}}</ref>

==Operational history==
[[File:Labuan-Twin-Pin.JPG|right|thumb|Scottish Aviation Twin Pioneer at Labuan]]
[[File:SAL Twin Pioneer XL993 ABIN 15.06.68 edited-2.jpg|thumb|right|RAF Twin Pioneer CC.1 wearing sand camouflage in service in 1968.]]
The military version could carry external stores such as bombs under the stub wings. One aircraft became the first aircraft for the newly formed [[Royal Malaysian Air Force]] when it was delivered on 16 January 1962; the type served with the air force for 12 years.

The [[Royal Air Force]] ordered 39 aircraft, which were built between 1958 and 1959, deployed in [[Aden]] and the Far East.<ref name="BAe1"/> It was used extensively by British forces in the [[Malayan Emergency]] and the later confrontation in [[Borneo]]. In August 1959, [[No. 78 Squadron RAF]] at Khormaksar received some Twin Pioneers to supplement its single engine Pioneers.<ref name="Thetford p470">Thetford 1988, p. 470.</ref> The Twin Pioneers were employed in moving troops and supplies around the wilderness and on occasions lending support to the [[Sultan of Oman]].  A series of double engine failures caused problems with the squadron losing two aircraft on the same day. Unsuitable soft and hard landing strips were also causes of failures during landings.

Other squadrons that operated the Twin Pioneers were [[No. 152 Squadron RAF]] based at Muharraq in [[Bahrain]] and [[No. 21 Squadron RAF]],<ref name="Thetford p470"/> which reformed with the type at Benson in May 1959. The squadron then moved to Kenya and in June 1965 to Aden. No. 152 operated around the Persian Gulf and in 1959, [[No. 209 Squadron RAF]] based at Seletar began to receive Twin Pioneers. These operated in Borneo and Malaya.  The SRCU (Short Range Conversion Unit) at [[RAF Odiham]] also flew three Twin Pioneers for aircrew training. RAF No. 230 Squadron in the UK was the last military operator of the Twin Pioneer. The squadron operated the type in an interesting sand-colour camouflage scheme.

Although mainly used in military operations, the Twin Pioneer was also successful as a commercial transport for operation in areas without proper airfields, where unprepared surfaces were often the norm. Twin Pioneers were sold as survey aircraft to oil exploration companies with some of the first sales to Rio Tinto Finance and Exploration Limited, and the [[Austria]]n and [[Switzerland|Swiss]] government survey departments. Three were used by the '[[De Kroonduif|Kroonduif]]' in Dutch New Guinea.

One Twin Pioneer served as a [[STOL]] training aircraft with the [[Empire Test Pilot School]] (ETPS) at [[RAE Farnborough]] for many years.
