Sad to hear of BADZ being in such a sad state. I think that was Manx Kelly's mount, when they changed from Stampes to Pitts in the early 70s. I certainly flew it several times, though my regular aircraft was BADX in the year I was with the team. Happy, and far off, days. Any chance of it flying again?
Thanks BYAG for the offer if I ever get to France again; doubtful though, and I'm not sure I could get into a Pitts these days!
