Hi all, im a PPL and want to find someone in the UK who has a Cessna 195 and see if I could arrange a flight?
So far I haven't been too successful in finding one?

Anyone out there have any leads?

According to GINFO there is only one on the UK register - G-BSPK - owned by a couple in Chiselhurst.

According to GINFO there is only one on the UK register - G-BSPK - owned by a couple in Chiselhurst. And based at Biggin Hill.

There's also one based at Derby which is on the UK register as a Cessna 190, but has the Jacobs engine which would make it effectively a 195. Plus a couple of US-registered examples resident in the UK, at Henstridge and Audley End.

Asking around at those fields might get you a ride.

Thirsty little devils made back in the days when Cessna could design a high wing single without external struts. What price progress, eh?

There is at least one American one if not more in the UK.

They don't read but they do contribute in some useful way.

Here's three American registered ones:

N3064BCessna 195BAudley End
N1551DCessna 190Shipdham
N999MHCessna 195BHenstridge

Hope this is of some use Dave.
