For 'S'

Good evening Savoia,

KENYON to LOTUS. One Enstrom F28A, G-BAWI. Possibly serial number 120. About £20k I think, such were prices in those days. Colin Chapman's CP was the lovable Mike Hammelin (later Hammelin Jet) who mainly flew the company Navajo. Am I right in thinking the all-black Lotus 77 was the current beastie in thos days? I usually landed at Mr Chapman's small mansion .... Ketteringham Hall sounds about right, then we needed to fly beneath the trees either side of the river to land at his newly purchased 'Sunseeker' business. Memories, but as ever ... its the age thingy again. 'Twas years later, I purchased G-AYTF around Christmas time 1983.

PS for 'S' ... I also operated another 'dancer' ... Enstrom G-BHTF.

Dennis Kenyon.
