    This place is about 12 miles from me, and if you're in the area, worth a visit.

    Didn't know there was this one afoot. There's only 2 airworthy worldwide and they've been flown together once when Canada's one came over to say hello.
    This will be the third. And an inventive way to get it airworthy while borrowing parts.

    Yes a really great day out. I went a few years ago with the Trophy SE forum. We had a fantastic time and we’re aloud to photograph all out bikes in front of the aircraft . :) At the time the restoration work was ongoing and the plane was able to taxi.

    Mine was the silver one second in from the right.
