The Twin Navion is one of general aviation's most misunderstood light aircraft, stemming from the fact that three distinct (and one not so distinct) versions were marketed, each in relatively small numbers. Although the single Navion has been an easily recognizable fixture on airports around the globe since 1946, few people are familiar with any of the conversions offered to turn the Navion into the world's first post-war light twin.

Last, but not least, this page could not be possible without Ken McTavish. A life-long Navion fanatic, Ken has spent decades and a small fortune amassing his collection of anything Navion. This includes singles, twins and Rangemasters, books, magazines, brochures, photos, toys, models and clothes. In 1975 he purchased his own Twin Navion, C-FNHN (s/n: TTN-61) and restored it with the help of his brother and stepfather. His work was rewarded in 1979 with the American Navion Society's Flagship award.
