I'm just wonderig if the three located at Hixon are the same three I saw duing my visit(s) there....if so, they've been there a bit longer than 3 years. One was an ex SAR cab, the other two were in camo. I was given to understand they were all airworthy at the time.......thus it came as a shock to the system to note that, despite being undercover.....ie in a warehouse with open doors, there was a distinct lack of those useful items called....blanks and covers.
