Pitts S.1 G-WHIZ

The aircraft is currently advetised for sale at 75,000 Australian Dollars on http://www.flyinguk.co.uk/aircraftforsale_79625.html

Details are as follows:-

Construction of this aircraft started in the UK in 1970 where it was built under the supervision of the CAA’s Hatfield office.

It was cleared for cover, the fabric was in place and the paintwork was well under way before it was shipped to Australia in 1980. It was accompanied by letters from the UK CAA and from the late Harold Best-Devereaux to the Australian authorities recommending that it be granted a C of A.

Work on this aircraft ceased shortly after the aircraft was brought to Australia and it was placed into storage until last year when it was completed to a point where it could be offered for sale.
