After World War Two, production of the Flying Squirrel resumed in 1946 or '47 and continued until about 1950, although production output was limited and sales were few. In the late 1970s, Silk Engineering produced the Silk 700S , which comprised an uprated Scott engine fitted into a modern Egli -type frame made by Spondon Engineering .
It was followed by the Super Squirrel, with a further revised engine of 498 cc or 596 cc, which was the mainstay of production in the mid-1920s, and the Flying Squirrel. Although they never regained their pre-war form, Scotts continued to compete successfully in sporting events scoring a 3–4 in the 1922 TT and a third in 1924.
Two versions of the T.29 Motor Tutor were produced, T.29A with a 25h.p. Scott Flying Squirrel engine and the T.29B with a 40 h.p. Aeronca JAP J.99.Both of these versions flew successfully but considerable difficulty was had certificating the aircraft with the Air Registration Board, which precluded production.
The Silk 700S was launched in 1975 and featured a new engine based on the two stroke engine from the Scott Flying Squirrel in a specially designed steel tubular frame made by Spondon of Derbyshire, [2] who also made the forks. [3] At a cost of £1355 it was more expensive than most other production motorcycles of the time. [4]
The Squirrel engine was conventionally cowled in the nose, with a fuel tank in the centre of the wing behind the main spar. The central part of the fuselage was an oval section, plywood -covered, semi- monocoque structure but the rear fuselage was aluminum-covered for easy inspection of the rear control surface cabling.
