What happened to James Black's AN2 ?
I recall flying it a couple of times at Barton when he did his summer tours around the UK. On the second occasion with a full load of passengers, my work colleagues & families with a number of children. I asked Manchester if we could do a low approach & go around, got told to orbit over Rostherne Mere at Tatton Park then unfortunately Manch got rather busy. It was a hot summer day, we were keeping below 1,500' and after about half a dozen very bumpy orbits I looked back into the cabin to see a dozen very green faces and quesy looking kids!! So we never got to do the flypast but went back to Barton where ice creams soon cheered up the children.
I hate to think how many people I put off flying that day....
