An other of Skyblue at Exeter

sorry about the first photo (my lad wishing lol)

And it only seems like last year (but was actually 1969/70) when Loganair still used to fly their one, which is now at East Fortune.

A photo of the Skyblue Aviation Beech 18 (based at Exeter) is available using the link below.

Stiggie – if you widen the next the Dutch Historic Flight have one, I beleive there is a C-45 airworthy in France (plus one under rebuild) one in Spain and Italy on the historic circuit

I already could see 2 french airworthy Beech 18’s, the dutch and the spanish one. 😉

Will post pix of Beech arrival -promise!

Cheers

Sounds great! 🙂

sooooooon we hope

ARCOs Beech 18 is owned by Tim Darrah, and merely kept at Duxford…Sometimes also at White Waltham.

Anthony Hodgson’s ‘Southern Comfort’ was sold to a guy in Ireland, and Anthony Hutton’s is now based at Exeter with Andy Foan (in SEAC colours)

I think the Beech 18 is a superb aeroplane, shame that there’s no other airworthy examples in the UK. It flies like it looks – fantastic!

Cheers Mike – dont recognise the name….? Anyone?

Nice to see the population of this nice vintage type growing in the UK. 😎 This bird isn’t so rare in the US but here in Europe they are not so easy to spot.

I do look forward to see some pics.

Greets,

P.S.
ARCO Beech used by but no longer owned by ARCO I beleive according to the Beech cohort i just rang , used to belong to Graham Warner so maybe its gone to him again – certainly it was used as a conversion trainer for the Blenheim(s)

Correct- sorry SC was AHs

Therefore – 3 airworthy plus one en route

Two potentially airworthy

My fault counting one as two

Plan is a five or six ship formation a la rapides at Leg Ends last year

I thought that….

ARCOs
Tony Hodgsons was sold to an Irish owner last year
Tony Huttons sold, now in Exeter I think -SEAC liveried one
Southern Comfort
The Volpar Beech from the states – en
route

Edwards Brothers have one under restoration (relatively swift I think)
Ours – G-BKRN (‘BKRG sold to the Aviodome by us last year)

Static
Cockpit in Scotland…?
D.18 at East Fortune

Blimey, your a bit behind the times aren’t you??? I thought Anthony Hutton and Anthony Hodgson had both sold theirs to new owners.
