As a result of request for an
aircraft with higher performance than theTaylor Monoplane of 1959, John F Taylor designed a high performance single seater the Titch. Taylor built the prototype, registered G-ATYO, at Leigh-on-Sea, Essex between 1965 and 1966. The Titch first flew atSouthend Airport on4 January 1967.Its all wood construction is similar to the Monoplane but had fewer
metal fittings than the and full sizewing rib plans are supplied for the tapered wing panels. With a cruisespeed in the region of 160 mph (260 km/h), this aircraft can be used as an effective tourer and is also fullyaerobatic . Builders can fit either a Continental or Lycoming engine.The Titch was named after the test pilot who first flew the
Taylor Monoplane , O.V.'Titch' Holmes. John Taylor was killed when the prototype Titch crashed at Southend on the16 May 1967 . The marketing of plans for both his aircraft designs were taken on by his wife and later his son.pecifications (Prototype)
