Bob Mitchell

Hi Zlin,

Whats a KZ8 pardon my ignorance?

The Bob Mitchell story has been posted on this thread before so if you are stuck for some reading on a wet day......!

Basically, he owns 2 Miles Aircraft - or what's left of them - in that same hangar. One is a Witney Straight and the other is a Monarch.

He is in the same mould as Dr Ian Dalziel, the owner of the rotting Monarch at White Waltham.

Both own rare fragments of our aviation heritage, neither will restore them to fly, neither will communicate with anybody about their aircraft or even consider selling them on, both are happy to let them rot....

The KZ8 population will undoubtedly reduce to one when Bob M's example finally rots into the floor of a building I am told is barely deservant of the term.

A strange world we live in.

All the best
