Hi Jeff,
I bought BEWJ from Alan Manns at Fairoaks in June 1996. It was owned I think by one company after David Essex had it. I sold it to a guy in Australia and it was shipped out there in December of 96.
It was an exciting trip from Fairoaks to the North of Scotland, very underpowered and it was a stinking hot June.
I was told by Manns, that at that time, they reckoned it was the lowest time 47 in the world. If I remember correctly, it had only about 850 hours tt. !
It is owned now by Graham Tadgell at Caloundra and used for training mostly. He did a beautiful upgrade on it a few years ago. Good man !
Cheers
