| Sirs, I bought this aircraft from the MoD in the 1970s and trucked it to Manston,Kent where I stored it for several years until the early 1980s when I shipped it to the British Virgin Islands. I did the necessary work myself as a licenced Aircraft Maintenance engineer and carried out the test flights from Beef Island Airport, B.V.I. I then delivered it to San Juan International Airport, Puerto Rico until it was sold by me to an expatriate Englishman living in Texas, USA. | |
