Wasn't the C336/337 type banned from certain GA airfields on account of its noisiness a few years back? I recall seeing a few of them around in the 70s, but they seemed to disappear by the 80s. I recall Elstree banned them. Just a point that may be worth checking at your home & regular destinations before you bring it over.
I flew one in the states in '83. Great fun but it WAS noisy.
