LEA - Excel, G-IAMS

[jimbob69]

Anyone shed any light on the fact that LEA no longer have G-IAMS? Does anyone know where it has gone? Who has it now?

G-INFO still has it regisitered to Amsair c/o LEA..... :confused:

[spanishflea]

TwinJet manage the Legacy, so maybe it has headed across to them at Luton? What about SIRS the other Excel?

[SiTurn]

they still have SIRS.

[jamesarmstrong]

yep, they definitley still have G-SIRS but I don't know whats happening to G-IAMS.

Anyone know anything?

G-IAMS is indeed heading East.....North East to be more precise. Can't remember which Scandanavian country now! :}
AMSAIR has sold both its Excels, G-IAMS and G-SIRS. LEA have bought the latter.
LEA now have three Excels, SIRS, WINA and CIEL, with a (newer) replacement for IAMS due 1st quarter '07. :ok:

What an astonishing rumour mill - and amazing how wide of the mark rumours can be. Listen to Arkwright.

btw, I did the pre-delivery flt for the putative owner t'other day...

I can tell you that all these three have been sat outside our hangar at STN during the past week, still being operated by LEA. Whether IAMS has been sold or not i don't know, and neither (it seems) do the boys who fly her.

WINA is here now and i've got two LEA pilots in the lounge so it seems that this one is here for a while at least.

G-IAMS is indeed heading East.....North East to be more precise. Can't remember which Scandanavian country now!
.....first Scandinavia, then 155/353nm.

G-IAMS was delivered to the Czech Republic yesterday!

Rumours that SIRS will be sold in the future too...

[Gulf4uk]

HI

Both G-SIRS and G -WINA operated out of farnborough today

[chileconcarne27]

I have just spoken to the delivery pilot and it seems that G-IAMS has headed to the Czech Republic via Odense to replace a Beech 400 as a calibrator aircraft for the military!

Anybody out there with a close affinity to the aircraft will be sorely upset as you will never recognise it again! New paint, new reg and new interior!

I can confirm that chilli con's comments are correct in everything he says, its a huge loss for GA as its one of the best cabin configs around for the XL.

Was a sad moment to hand over the keys to the new owner:{

To top things off my luggage was Bloody lost on our commerial back home, i dont like to point the finger but............. the opperator's livery is white and orange......:ouch:

Sirs is sirs but its not, if you get my drift :ok:
