As Max Boyce used to say " I know because I was there ", the slight repaint was OK but the cutout sticky registration numbers to put on the frames for the trip home were the laugh as one of the original aircraft went U/S before departure from Lyneham so we came back with the wrong tail number on the aircraft as they didn't have time to prepare the correct numbers for the new frame and nobody noticed all the way home. Mind you we did stick them on the para doors which I believe is not legal as they are supposed to be a fixed part of the frame.
A good and interesting trip which got me a week in Fiji and a week in Hawaii !
