Bob,

Yes, aircraft back in service. I was indeed the pilot who tested it, although I'm sure it wasn't rocket science for you to work out who I am, any more than it is for me to work out who you are!

With more knowledge now of exactly what the problem was, you are of course quite correct that the problem did indeed need fixing, as it was slightly more serious than just the lighting. A short period of being out of service should never be a big issue for any aircraft - the biggest issue, IMHO, was that no one told me what the problem was, nor even that it was out of service until I came in to fuel it up for the first of my cancelled trips.

Great to see the aircraft back, though - and I had an extremely pleasant trip to the Isle of Man in it, and an excellent lunch at the restaurant you recommended! The aircraft is fantastic, and I have pax queuing up to go flying in it with me as soon as my finances allow - I'm already planning my next trip...

FFF
