Jay – yes, it’s TE311.

Are they new seats in the Dakota? I seem to remember in Feb they were still the airline type seats?

the seats are new para fit that a couple couple of the lads fitted in record time for the d-day para drop.

Glad to see that PA474 is still looking good, spent quite a few hours flying in the old girl in the early 80s.

So you were allowed some time off for photography! Excellent. It also reminds us of the work you all put in to keep them flying.

Nothing’s safe anymore, you park up your Spit, and come back to find it on blocks with the wheels pinched….. 😀

Seriously, cracking photos and it’s great to see the behind the scenes effort to keep them in the air. 🙂
