    News! Pictures of Vadim, Colin Hales and engineers. Aircraft transited St Athan to Colins place for a quick shake down then onward across the channel and now in Munster Germany. Looking forward to more pictures from Vadim and Colin as the aircraft makes its way across Europe and into Russia.

    Pleased to announce that our Dornier has been sold to Vadim a very experienced Russian Pilot who is looking forward to a long ferry trip and has plans to film it which will be interesting. The sale was facilitated by Colin Hales who many of you will be familiar with for his exploits and knowledge of all things GA. Elaine and I would like to thank the many people involved with FG over the years including the two previous owners. Rex Ford was a go to expert as were the team at St Athan under John Sparks and lastly the owners group in Germany who have been very supportive over the years of ownership.

    Thanks to all who have posted and if the right project comes along Elaine and I might be tempted as long as it does not involve the CAA and C of A!

    The figure of a 10 tonne capacity tool was mentioned during a brief chat on what was needed to strip, check and reassemble. My suggestion was to see if the Russians could do it as they still operate big turbo props. I am not an engineer but would like to see the aeroplane flying again.

    [ATTACH=CONFIG]255017[/ATTACH] you can get decent stills from many photo ship platforms ours is a D27 but to get decent footage you need professional cameras and stabilised mounts.

    Hi Tony, we thought about airshows but were unable to put it into a military paint scheme and after Shoreham Would not go near a show unless we wanted to fly in and watch then leave. Just flying around the UK a pain thanks to Airspace and regulations. We do our own thing and share pictures where we can.

    St Athan to Lundy via Woolacombe, brief touch down on short bumpy strip and then back. Flew Lars and Hans later in the day, mixing it in the circuit with vintage fast jets also flown by Norwegians!
