Hoping to entertain Stik, and maintaining the current vogue for reviving ye threades of olde, I was stirred to zombify this one by seeing the ST Aviation advert in the current issue of "Pilot". I have stopped buying all of the flying mags recently, and naughtily allowed my PFA sub to lapse, and so may have missed articles on the current status of the "Mark 26", PFA-wise. Has Genghis or anyone else heard of whether the PFA has had a look at the type, or whether any bold soul is building one in the UK? The relevant website is here:
