Guzlin Adnams
Hi Guzlin. I flew solo in G-AXJI back in 1971. It was operated at that time by Southend Aero Club and sported blue livery back then. My instructor was an ex-WW II Typhoon pilot - Eddy Summerville. Apparently the doors would fly open in a spin he told me, as it had not received the door lock modifications yet! It was the best in the fleet, being fully aerobatic (others in the fleet were two or three Piper Cherokees - 150 and 180).
I was 17 then and although not old enough to drive, 17 was old enough to hold a student pilot's license so I'd cycle to the flying club.......
Owner of the club was a Mr. Clack.
Just a bit of historical trivia regarding this particular grand aeroplane.
