The Dudley Watt D.W.2 was a 1930s British two-seat light biplane designed by K.N. Pearson for Dudley Watt.[1][2] The D.W.2 was built at Brooklands and was a wood and fabric biplane with a tailskid landing gear. It had two open cockpits and was powered by a 90 hp (67 kW) ADC Cirrus III piston engine.[1]
The D.W.2 was designed to be offer exceptional handling at low speeds and to be a competitor for the de Havilland Moth family.[1] Only one D.W.2 (registered G-AAWK[3]) was built and this was sold by Dudley Watt in February 1934, it had been dismantled by the end of year.[2]
