It used to be “57-H” but was re-coded at ARC last year. The reason was because a new cub G-RRSR “480173” was imported and has taken on the codes “57-H” to honour the owners father who flew the original in the war. G-RRSR is resident at ARC’s hangar at the east end of the airfield at present. “57-G” was his wing man. So there you go, it has yet to make it into the spotting books……..except mine 😉

It used to be silver with a blue stripe, when owned by John Coxon at Barton.
On windy days he would to do vertical circuits, ie climbing to circuit height, going backwards up the runway until back at the threshold, and then landing ahead. ATC used to get quite cross, for some reason!
