No centreline hose, but 2 pilots + ARO and fitted with up-to-date systems.

Congratulations to whoever managed to sell ZA150 though! I really cannot imagine 'Juliet' flying again, nice though that would be.
quote from a post on the ZA150 farcebook page...

During the open day I had chat to one of our visitors who told me he worked on the 'line constructing ZA150. His particular area to the engine spectacle beams and the stub wings. He said as this was the last a/c off the line there were a certain amount of missing components as during the assembly of earlier a/c if a component didn't fit for some reason they would go to stores and take the same component that was ready for the next airframe, so naturally it all came to a head with the construction of CN885 5H-MOG.
