Atlantic Engineering, Coventry.

I bought the cockpit of LN-FOI and eventually sold it to the Ashburton Museum in New Zealand, as it came off the production line as ZK-TEA.

Absolutely BRILLIANT post - thanks for jolting the memories...

Lovely shots

Very nice Paul!

....bound for Aberdeen with 44 oily's starting their fortnight off....

...remember this old Turnhouse Flying Club stalwart Mike.....and she's still flying today!

This was taken in 1981. Departure point was Brent Log on the Cormorant Alpha.

You can just make out the BC & TF through the windscreen in the middle of the picture.

Yes, I've a lot of time for the old Bandeirante - I worked in Air Ecosse Ops for 2 years and it was a brilliant workhorse. Frequently filled with drunken oily's. Another somewhat lesser problem was that as it was a single pilot operation with air hostess, we got several reports of an empty aircraft ...

Making a very smart departure en-route to Aberdeen.

At one of the Warbird displays at West Malling in Kent - don't know which year though.... Couple of pictures of PH-DDA, which was lost in a terrible accident in 1996. RIP. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49741886853_7fafcac55f_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49742437306_368d114c7d_b.jp...
