Its amazing what a coat of paint can do to the eye! She’ll be a well photoed aircraft once she’s visited the paintshop!

Incidentally just looked through some old books and found I flew her back in 2000!

Apparently after it arrived at BOH, one of the EAL wags in the hangar changed the registration to G-PIGP – G-FIGP is meant to be Formula One Grand Prix and the a/c is to be used as team transport for Minardi, as previously was G-GPFI.

Its gone into the paintshop and is coming out in OzJet-style colours, blue and white etc.

Good to see this classic is being saved from the scrapman! But I do hope they clean it up a little! :p
