New shape in the circuit?

Have just received the new Audi Magazine and there is reference to an Audi owner in the UK who is having a two seat/twin engined Cessna military jet aircraft, recovered from Vietnam, restored in New Zealand. It is said that ultimately, once restored, it will be brought to the UK

Could only be an ex USAF/VNAF A-37B Dragonfly

Would be a nice Vietnam display with the Huey – is the TFC Skyraider still around for a Vietnam setpiece at Legends?

Well if it is an A-37, I love ’em.

Here is one in New Zealand, taken earlier this year.

Oh that would be a nice sight.

Not sure if there has ever been a Dragonfly within our shores before but I’ve often looked at photos and thought what a nice little two seater it seems to be.

It would be nice to see one at Kemble where it would fit in quite nicely.

Kennet Aviation/Tim Manna at North Weald has owned and operated the Skyraider for a few years now.
