It was one of Dean Franklin's projects and was being tested with a pair of 300hp IO-520 Continentals when the pilot let the nose get too low and it flipped over near Chalks ramp on 5 August 1971. It was later certified with those engines and until recently still had them. It now has more reasonable 260hp IO-470 Continentals and is still flying as N78X. (Info from Bill Bailey)

Grumman Widgeon production was continued by SCAN in France from 1948. The venture was not a success and 29 incomplete aircraft were shipped to California where some were converted to PACE Gannet standard with Lycoming R-680 engines by Pacific Aircraft Engineering Co from Sun Valley.

Built in 1949 and here it has been converted to Gannet Super Widgeon with Lycoming R-680E engines. Later it was converted to Magnum Widgeon and current as N540GW in 2022

This SCAN 30 was a licence-built G-44A Widgeon constructed in France post-WWII. Later converted to Pace Gannet standard, re-engined with Lycoming R-680 radials. After having a number of US owners, ferried to Zaire in 1969. Abandoned at Kinshasa, Zaire by 1976. Seen here departing on the Prestwick-Iceland leg of a difficult recovery flight to the USA, plagued by earlier engine problems across Africa, including a forced landing. Arrived safely at Sussex, NJ for a full restoration.

Operator from new (1956-1969) was the Ontario Department of Lands & Forests, in whose colors it is still in. Donated to the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum in 2001, then moved to the Canada Aviation Museum in 2008. As of 2014 it is flying with a private individual from Vancouver.

Built under license in France by Societe de Constuctions Aero-Navales (SCAN) in the late 1940s to early 1950s and called the SCAN 30. Some found their way to the US and were converted to PACE Gannet standard with the Lycoming R-680 as here. This one is in operation with Riverton Airways having been imported in 1959 and cancelled by the FAA as N701Q on 5 June 2019.

SCAN 30 re-engined with 350hp Lycoming TIO-540-J2BD engines. Conversions done by Dennis Burke.

Built in 1949, this Scan 30 went to Canada in 1954 where it received a Gannet Super Widgeon conversion. Jump to 1997 when the aircraft was re-engined again with a Magnum Widgeon conversion after a 5 and a half year restoration.

Licence built Grumman G-44A Widgeon Ex F-BGTD, VP-KNV. Later as G-ARIX crashed and broke up landing off Calshot May 19, 1961

Licensed built Grumman G-44A by Société de Construction AéroNavale (SCAN) in France. Differing from Grumman built examples using metric measurements and non-anodized metal for hull and airframe construction.
