Parked under an AN2! I had planned to make some spats for it but I got a job overseas and had to sell it first.

Wow, I didn’t realise Carlos’s site was still running. When I had mine there were only 2 flying in the UK although several others do exist and are possibly now airworthy. Mine (G-BMVU) was the lower power 22hp while the other (G-MONI) was the high power 30hp version. All UK Moni’s had to have rivetted wings to satisfy the PFA which was a good thing. My rivets were all recessed and filled giving me a much better glide performance than G-MONI’s exposed rivet heads. Both of our Moni’s were converted from monowheels into conventional taildraggers. I know a guy who owns a tri-gear Moni with a total of 6 hours on it which is in fabulous condition and probably perfectly capable of getting a permit with no hassle. He is probably open for offers. I paid £2500 for mine with no permit and sold it for about £4000 a couple of years later having flown many hours in it. It lived on a trailer in my drive and I just dragged it to my local airfield and rigged it (about 15 minutes) whenever I wanted to fly. I saved myself thousands in hangarage.

Did you have to design for P&W nacelles?

If you wish to simulate night flying…stay up all day until you are really tired, shut yourself in the cupboard under the stairs with a torch until morning. Every 20 minutes turn on the torch and read the gas meter. Repeat until morning arrives or you just can’t stay awake any longer. If charter, repeat behaviour 3 times a week through the summer season. If low cost, repeat until retirement.

Yes

I believe most (if not all) of Condors 752’s are heading to Russia.

Didn’t they remove seat pockets recently and attach the safety card onto the back of the seat in front? This quickens their turnarounds as there are no seat backs to be cleaned.
