Me and the Mrs flew “Primrose” from Coventry to Cosford for the 2005 airshow and i agree it was something else :cool:. I never dreamed that a project like this would have been available,but rest assured G-AYFA will get the restoration that this iconic piece of avaition history deserves.

I am delighted to see ‘FA’ still being cherished, at least part of her.
As 12 year olds, myself and my chum were nuts about Twin Pins, from the time they came over the school playing field near Bovingdon at 500 feet, on survey work (circa 1976)
It took us a while to indentify them, but then we scoured old mags for pictures and info, and ended up knowing all about Flight One, JF airlines at Portsmouth, and even wrote to Flight One at Staverton to ask for a visit- no reply sadly!
It was a sad day when I flew into Shobdon (1984 ish) and saw G-AYFA mouldering at the end of that huge, wide runway, and I think a gale finished her off a couple of winters later.
My friend and I finally got a flight in a Twin Pin, out of Coventry a couple of years ago- Bl**dy marvelous!
