I am 99.9% certain that I have flown this aircraft but will need to consult an old log book to confirm. Cannot do this until thursday but will get back here after checking.

If confirmed then it was at 635 GS located at Burtonwood in Lancashire. I also think that I may have photos of her at this time in the red & white colour scheme.

Her "sister" aircraft at the time was XA 282 which is now preserved at Carnarvon aircraft museum and Sedburgh XN 185 which the ATC still own (airworthy??).

A flight time of 3,1/2 mins after a 1000`agl launch on a typical day, she wasnt exactly built for thermal soaring, though I suppose Derek Piggott may argue that point.
