Can anyone provide any history on 'LZ' currently at Caernarfon Airworld?

Just guessing... was this at John Coggin's radio museum at Baginton (now there's a proper airport name!) at one time? I dimly recall a Prince and a Prentice there in the 1980s... And, connections and cogs, is the Prentice the one that Air Atlantique now fly?

From www.oldprops.co.uk website:

G-AMLZ P50/46 Prince 6E Caernarfon Air World, Wales.

Looking very sad ay Coventry in 87. How does she look today? A follow up photo would be nice.

Still at Coventry in 93, but what a differance in the later photo in North Wales. A job well done, especially if it still looks like that. Too many of these "mundane" aeroplanes are allowed to die simply bevause they are not fast pointy things with bombs.

Would like to see her again with City Airways titles and the insignia on the tail.

Mundane is certainly the term I would apply to the Prentice. :)

But did G-KEST and Charles Boddington really consider entering a Prentice in an aeros competion in the 1960s. I think we should be told...:ok:

I .am pretty sure that John Coggin's Prentice is the one flown by Air Arlantique. Regardingthe aerobatics I remember in the dim past a demostration pilot killing himself at Barton doing a roll at low level.
