And an older classic from Piper.

Could this be a future classic ?

mike currill. Thanks for that ! I have just checked with G-INFO and the aircraft is not a Luton Minor, but the well known ‘Mickelthwait & Parsons’ Cadet 111 motor glider ????? VW engined, another view below 🙂

Rob. Yes I was pleased to see an Argus ! Thought you would like the Auster photo, in fact your name passed through my head when posting it. 😉

EGTC. Thank you, variety is the spice of life ! I am told. :diablo:

Myke. Thank you too for your nice comment.:p

Nice to see the Argus still at Sibson, I did my skydive for the RNLI there a good number of years back (never again…..)

I believe the Taylorcraft BRPX is usually at Leicester
