Cleaned the windshields on one once

No health and safety..was at Dijon and had been bought by a mate and his partner in crime,
A couple of guys from north weald were working on the motors and showed me the deceleration creases on the fusalage. It had flown back from canada and the local mayor who was a friend of the then owner wanted a flight..it ran out of fuel and went into a recently harvested field hence the creases.
Unfortunately my mate didnt have the balls to fly it himself..ex swiss fighters, Swissair and executive jets so I never got a ride although I would have given it my best shot.
He had turned down flying hunters for thundercity even though he had 10 years experience.
Last I heard is that it was repositioned to Paris area but that was more than a decade ago.
