  • Another Sunny Day in July

    ‘Hot off the press’ – CAA Surveyor has issued the full Permit to Fly for G-CIIO which now makes it officially the one and only certified P-40C in Europe…..

    Grateful thanks to Mike and Neil (and all at GA Unit), not forgetting Dave and John at ACRO Aeronautical Services for making this possible.

    Oh and  we  flew a few aircraft with the Corsair up a couple of times – Keith Skilling at the  helm, the P36C made it’s first UK flight  and the Mustang was also up. The Harvard was busy with crew currency flights in between.

  • Just another sunny day in July

    No less than three flights from the P-40C  (Sunshine and Silver aeroplanes, yes), then one from Miss Velma. The   American team  have arrived and wisely  stayed in the hangar  (and shade) while they put   the P-36 together
