A nice pic of ML407 in her G-LFIX markings and primer, on her first flight following rebuild.

G-LF.IX
I remember zipping down to St Merryn, Cornwall, to capture the first flight. Things were running a little late and to fill the time, among other things, I applied the temporary registration using two inch wide masking tape.
I couldn’t resist adding that smallest of full stops behind the ‘F’ and the ‘I’.
By the end of day 15 April 1985, the weather had remained hopeless and I had to return. The forecast was poor but she flew the next day.

Presumably Nick, the late, great man himself was flying it.

Ach, you’re right, Mark V! Totally forgot she was occupying the rear seat the first time! :rolleyes:

Nice photo Daz but I suspect its a later flight (note exhaust staining and absence of Mrs Grace in the rear cockpit).

A model of primed RCAF5481/G-ORGI 1991 (maybe not 100% correct, all I had was a small picture in an old FlyPast).
