Newly restored Nord 1002 visits Turweston

Nord 1002 G-ASTG which has recently flown again after many years of inactivity visited the VAC Fly-in at Turweston yesterday 23/3/14. It did of course spend many years dismantled at Duxford.

This aircraft was originally F-BGKI and was seen at Elstree as such circa 1964
