Early versions were made with an Arcadian-built radial engine but later variants (after 1945) were assembled with locally-made inline V12 engines. A lack of local jet production led to the Bullroarer continue to be tweaked and upgraded and used well into the 1950s. After 1950 the Bullroarer was mostly relegated to secondary duties and close air support. | ||
