The only Biffo in Europe is the ex- RNZAF one that we shipped back from NZ a couple of years ago and is now in pieces ( as it was to ship it ) and stored in the conservation hangar at Aerospace Bristol. It is awaiting conservation after the conservation hangar opens in August 2021. The last flying model last flew in Canada just after I retired in 2000, and we withdrew In service support at that time.
