That's John Houlder's 560, right? Think it's still at Elstree, but I don't know if she gets flown much these days. That aircraft he's taken all over the world. In fact, I don't know if there are many Commanders still in service in the UK. Anyone seen any recently?

There's another interesting story of two barely out of college teenagers who bought an old 560 and flew around the world with it. I'm trying to find the link to their website as it's a good read. Funny thing is when they came to one of those yearly Commander gatherings a couple of years ago, they were too young to be able to rent a car, yet they'd flown a vintage Twin Commander all around the world!

A dream would be to some day get mine over to Europe for a summer and do some touring there.

Englishal - thanks for offer, I might.
