Wonderful watching and listening to that lovely V-twin powered APU running. And doesn’t the aircraft look good. Best wishes to all involved.
p.s. The APU reminded me of the one fitted to the BBMF Dak. When it first arrived in the early ’90’s, no-one had a clue about this little unit. After about ten minutes, I had it up and running. Lovely little thing. Choice of pull cord and electric start. Heated the rear fuselage area up in a couple of minutes. Only used it once in real anger in Caen in ’94. Stop/start for fuel and ground manoeuvering and the main gennies wern’t even getting on line. APU to the rescue and kept the main batteries charged without any problem. Bit noisy when using the Elsan though.
