So good to see the Comper once again in flight. Congratulations to everyone involved. Could Phil confirm that this is in any way connected to the original CTF that was owned by test pilot Ron Clear as it was flown regularly at Christchurch Hants in the 1950/60. Ron used it to commute Portsmouth/Christchurch when Airspeed were producing the Elizabethan.
Some of the apprentices Ron encouraged to fly also. I did not get to fly the Comper but flew his BA Swallow a couple of times. It would be brilliant if there were some part of the original aircraft still flying.
