G-AKBO
She did look a lot better after a bath. I also wiped her bottie down after - she does drop a bit of oil (don't they all??!!)
The 'bottom hangar' at Turdy gets really dusty due to the woodshop next door creating loads of sawdust.
Also, to even get to the runway you have to splosh your way through loads of mud at relatively high speed to avoid getting stuck.
I can't bear to fly any aircraft that isn't clean - it detracts from the pleasure in my book. If you ain't got time to clean it - don't fly it.
Despite the wind - KBO gave lots of pleasure to 2 lucky passengers and lots more to the toggies. Doesn't she look great waffling slowly down the approach with those biiiig barn-door flaps and triple fins?
MMMmmm....
The new owner of KBO lives down south near Shoreham.
Can I appeal to you all to come up with some suitable hangarage near there?
Whilst I am happy to keep it flying for them (who wouldn't??) it needs to be there so that they can cuddle it without a big road journey.
