Hope they repeat the Popham Aerojumble, that was a great show, despite the weather!:)
And is he the chap who owns a Short Skyvan?
James
Which one?:confused: Do you know that there only two Skyvans current on the register and they both belong to Invicta Aviation.:eek:
Congratulations, welcome to the Forum and the freedom of the air!:) He is flying a Cessna and hopes he never has to use his user name.:D
That’s the business, all you need to know about the operation, thanks!

The Westland Scout did not sell at £28,100. Wonder what the reserve price was, £30,000 – 40,000?
Interesting speculation that the crashed plane had a previous history of CIA use.;)

No idea why it wsa there unless it was a joyriding flight. The aircraft is actually registered D-CDLH and is the oldest flying Ju. 52 in the world. It is based in Hamburg and was at one time owned by the, now deceased author, Martin Caidin.
A more lucid report on the incident, three now under arrest.
