I digress...

Kingy,

Is yours the award winning yellow machine that was built by Dudley (Flair Model Aircraft kits) Patterson?

A beautiful aircraft if so.

I remember it at Lower Upham Farm - for sale at the time for not a lot of money - when we went to buy Clive Du Cros' Messenger there.

I cant understand how somebody can spend such a chunk of their lives crafting something so exquisite, only to sell it for a lot lot less than it cost to build (and thats just the sum of the bits!)

Did you get to know Dudley? Did you buy it from him? Super bloke, now flying Robin Regent G-DUDZ.

He does get to a lot of the vintage aircraft events.

Whats it like to fly?

Enjoy!
