As anyone who knows me will readily confirm, this question lies well outside my area of (limited ) knowledge.
Do any of these lightweight turboprops still exists ? If so where? Please.

David...........

G-BNCE was recorded as being used for spares 12/93 at Dyce. Later recorded as being on the dump at Dundee.

G-BOBX was recorded as being on the dump at Elmdon in the early 90s in a poor state. Now long gone I am sure.

Hi David. You probably know about this page, but if not try:
GINFO Database Search | Aircraft Register | Safety Regulation (http://www.caa.co.uk/application.aspx?catid=60&pagetype=65&appid=1)

HD,
That is where I started. I was asked by someone else but all these devices are way below the A.U.W. for my sphere of interest. Though fitting a freight door might rouse my curiosity a little.

I thought you said you had looked at G-INFO.
JW was exported to Australia,
OW was exported to Zaire,
PA went to Israel,
SR was temporarily withdrawn from use in 1993,
KN went to Mexico
KO went to Canada
I'll let you do the rest, it's all there, easily accessible on G-INFO. You will need to look at any information available on the national registers for the countries to which they were exported.

Perhaps the poster means do any still exist in the UK with their original UK reg?

I am trying to verify their continued existence and location.
Thanks every one so far for your help.
Be lucky

Try my website. I am trying to track all the G1 airframes, well...what is known anyway. You can check by CN number or registration.
