Thanks for the link to the photo Phil RIX is long gone from WGT but I don't know where it ended up. I think the last owner from SA was the original owners son, but don't quote me.
I used to fly that old girl out of BLA long time ago. fastest 310 of that model I have flown. Actually it was serial No 00001 if I recall The first of the Q models but didn't have an omni rear window funnily enough.

Funny off subject story about this old girl but worth a laugh now.
I picked it up from MB one day after it had some new avionics fitted & when I did an ILS back into EN I got a lousy display of the ILS signal (all over the place & not my flying,this time!) & with an awful radio reception thrown in. Once on the ground I had the local radio guys there take a quick look at it & they found that the Glide Path antenna ( I think in the nose cone) & the VHF wiring where ass about.....& that was just fitted that day!
Am sure all the derelict planes rotting away out there have many stores to tell:-)

"DF"I think SAO was an ex 'rufdus' plane........anyone??
