In the summer of 1970, Westair at Blackpool supplied a new Rheims built C150 to the Lancashire Aero club at Barton. It was registered G-AWPU. As a student it was the very first aircraft I flew, I learnt to fly in her and subsequently instructed in her for many years. 30 years later I recreated that first flight and thought she had done well to survive that long....
This aircraft has just left Barton after being sold to....Westair at Blackpool
That's 44 years exactly - some kind of record you would think.
Here she is all those years ago..
And recently...
