I too am sorry to hear of the club's demise. I started flying with Pegasus in 1983 and remember it fondly especially G-BFJM and my first solo (I seem to remember it was destroyed in an accident at Aboyne).Kevin Wigginton and Fiona Payton (nee Fraser) where are you now?GS
GS.

It was G-BEWP that was destroyed at Aboyne when it flipped onto its back It was still at Perth in use as an instructional airframe in 2006.
G-BFJM survived another few years ( and an encounter with telephone lines at Insch) before being written off in 1990.
G-BFFY, despite not being incident free over the years, still survives, as does G-TYGA, which I always enjoyed flying.
Kevin is alive and well, with BMI flying Airbuses out of Edinburgh, while I think that Fiona moved to the States with her Husband - whether she is still flying or not I'm not sure.
