I feel sorry for the group that did so much of the work to get it near to an airworthy state and then see it fly off in to the distance. But as has been said, at least it should keep on flying.

Well done chaps. I always used to enjoy my trips to Frankfurt on the Air UK 146s. Always on time, even in some really poor weather.

Speaking to a well known warbird pilot yesterday, he mentioned that “Pegs” was selected as it has a relatively forward C of G which makes inserting the second seat somewhat easier as “pogno” enquired. His comment was that you couldn’t put a hamster on a back seat in some of the others without moving the C of G out of rearward limits.

An excellent roundup. Interesting number of UK designs which rather points to a lost market since WW2. What type is ZK-ADV in the 11th photograph?

No help at all really but I guess it was one of Russell Whyham’s acquisitions. ANT still exist so perhaps they could help? BTW were you at school in Blackpool? I was just down Lytham Road at Arnold so Squires Gate was on my way home.

I guess it will end up in Canada if the price is not too steep. Half a million does seem quite a lot. By the way has the other Beaver at Duxford flown yet?

So what does a Luton Martin Monoplane look like then? Interesting find. For restoration?
