LB: Might one assume therefore that the craft-noir will live up to her name and sport colours not dissimiliar to those intrinsic to the mammal below?



If so, I hope its not asking too much for you to post an image once she's 'done'!

In post 240 from page 12 I relayed a story from the early 80's when my godfather flew the Bell demonstrator N2221W during Ascot week after Bell's then Chief Pilot was instructed by Heathrow to 'give them a call' on arrival at Battersea!

The 222 should have been far more successful than she was but, as we know, early problems with the Lycoming engines, high maintenance costs and that beautiful Bell 'whop' all acted against her.

Happy flying!
