Thinking about buying a Slingsby Firefly from RAF - would be interested to hear any firsthand experience from anyone who operated them in following areas...
1. Serviceability eg typical faults, time in maintenance etc
2. Fatigue - has the RAF thrashed the engine + airframe to near exhaustion
3. Atypical handing characteristics (other than spinning already covered)
Nb I have operated an ex-RAF Bulldog so comparisons between the two would make sense also.
Thanks- Barney
