I first saw G-ASUR when I was a BOAC F/O at Netherthorpe when she was owned by Harry Camm( h had her from new He was kind enough to take me for a trip and let me do most of the flying . It was a delight to fly and I never quite got the memory out of my head. Close to retirement in BA I found her again in Jersey where Harry had retired .. I did several flights with him to France as Harry had just lost his licence and about a year later he sold her to me.12 years of fun and near bankruptcy followed .. you could land and takeoff in 300M and stall speed was 30 kts. When we parted company the restrictive rules applicable to vintage aircraft maintenance meant she went on the US `register, but is still in UK hangared at Old Warden.
