HH: Well done!

One sees that GEEVS is wearing the same colours as when she was OTSL below:



I'm not entirely certain who 'TSL' were.

I believe Mann's had a couple of 109's which wore the 'jack' somewhere on their frame. Car Auctions may have been another.

One see's that VFR installed curtains on TSL/GEEVS - the rear pax view is bad enough in the 109 without curtains but .. there we are!

Someone, in an attempt at silliness and levity, had affixed a small Dymo label to each window inscribed "Double-glazing by Everest".
Brilliant!

Of course Mann's must have sold Anglian their first craft, G-WILL (never did discover why she was so named) an AB 206B III which was delivered in May '79 and sold on to Switzerland in February of '83.
