Trago Mills. That name rings a bell. Weren’t they sponsoring a light aircraft design a while ago? Think it was called the SAH-1 or something similar. What became of that?

A wonderful little aeroplane….first flew at Bodmin in 1983 and then the intention was to build the aeroplanes there at a factory behind the airfield. Designed by a gentleman called Sydney Holloway who I believe worked for Beagle in the 1960s. Was tested at Boscombe Down by EPTS and was found to be a delightful aeroplane. Would have made a good trainer to replace the Bulldog. The plan to build them in Cornwall fell through and then it was going to be built in Hungary. This didnt suceed either and at one time Piper were interested in the type.

Bought up by FLS along with the Optica, a few were built before the company I believed closed down and the prototype and others were purchased by Aces High at North Weald. G-SAHI is still there and one of the others is now resident at Exeter.

There are so many lovely aeroplanes out there….ones that spring to mind are the Bucker Jungmann, Auster Mk.5, Beech 18, Spartan Executive, Tim Conrad’s T-28 and Helio Courier, Yak-18T…the list goes on and on.

Never tried an airliner……….

(still beta testing the Aeroworx T-6 and loving every minute).

still got to get around to getting one….but its on the ‘to do’ list. Am at present testing some lovely autogen trees for my home county (personal note: think should get out a bit more!:))

Sad News indeed. I remember reading it as a child and then hearing it on Jackanory and then well just forgot about it and a whole host of other things…….then the other day I saw a copy in a bookshop and just had to buy it. About the other fiction book in my collection.

davski,

I think you must be mistaken, as G-ABTC hasnt flown for at least 20 years (CofA expired in 1984!) Last I heard was it was ‘stored’ down in Cornwall somewhere with Pete Channon

The Comper Swift is one aircraft that I’d love to fly…..

G-ABTC is stored somewhere in Cornwall……but where I cant remember?! (or more importantly I dont think the owner wishes it to be known – not even W&R knows where it is). I saw her about two years ago stored in a hangar which she sat with a tarpulin over the fuselage.
