6009 was a protype aircraft, wiring diagrams never matched the machine , autopilot was a peice of crap, a liitle man from Peterhead , myself and a man from SFIM spent weeks re-wiring it with a break out box and dodgy wiring diagrams for best part of 2 weeks in Antigua, but eventually got it working, it left the UK with same autopilot snag several years before under a concession from the seller (intermittent fault), that aside it performed well in the Sun for several years before making its way home to that unfortunate incident with the bridge
Glad to hear she is still flying, if you ever get a chance to recce the log books , its like a who's who of current and past uk engineers and operators, I used to spend hours looking for signatures and names I recognised
Good luck to her and lets hope she has a few years left in her yet!!
