Bulldog IAS and Adam wise

I fly Bulldog XX553 in "hot and high" southern CA. It's good for about 110-112kts IAS straight-and-level at 4,000ft AMSL with everything forward bar the RPM at 2,600 ... BUT the engine needs an overhaul as it's 2,000 hours since the RAF last opened it up.


I fly Bulldog G-DISA when I'm in the UK (ex-RJAF). It's good for 120+kts IAS straight-and-level at 3,000ft AMSL, again with everything forward and RPM 2,600. Hope this helps.


Regarding Adam Wise, he was our OC at ULAS between 1984 and 1986 and was, at least initially, Royal Equerry to Princes Andrew and Edward. Prince Edward flew with ULAS during Easter Camp at RAF Abingdon in 1984 or 1985 IIRC.


Regards all,
