A.N.T. certainly did have a cornucopia of fairly uncommon types back in the day. I can remember, at various times, a Percival Pembroke/Prince type (which I never saw fly), a Miles Monarch, Miles Messenger and Gemini, assorted Chipmunks (I can remember G-AOJY, G-APPK in addition to G-ARGG on which I did most of my training) plus earlier, the DH84s G-ADDI and G-ACIT. My very first flight ever was in one of the DH84s; I wish I knew which one!

A fairly unusual Piper - a Cherokee Six G-AWCY - was also operated but this I think was after Russell died.
