Head Turner:
Thanks for your reply. I would like to trace the Portugese Skeeters if possible. I have traced all the others in this the UK. The 10 that the Porugese bought were ex German Mk50 & 51's that the airforce and navy operated. If you have any more info. at all could you please pass it on? Francis Chamberlain always said that they were taken out to sea and dumped but I have not heard this story anywhere else.
If you would like to see our Skeeter fly, let me have your email address (you can contact me via the Skeeter Heritage site) and I will let you know when and where we are going to be in the coming months.
XL814 is the HAF's "flyer" although it has not for the last 5 or 6 years and looks like it will not anymore! I have flown XL812, XN355, XL809 & G-APOI (MK8)
Kind regards
