Thanks guys for those . Rest assured XX614 is well, very well indeed and performing at Duxford on Saturday

The Reid was (and maybe still is) an annual competition between the northern England UASs (Liverpool, Manchester, Northumbria & Yorkshire).

And a hearty thrashing was dished out by me in 1987!

Thanks Airborne Artist.

You are indeed Correct about that.

Sad to see my namesake off to the knickers yard just ahead of me though!

Aviation 72

I see that Aviation 72 are intending to release a model of XX614.
Checked my logbook and flew it 6 times on my CFS course at Scampton and Cranwell.
Still get the odd trip in a Dog.

XX614 is alive an well now based at Exeter EGTE in the same hangar as my RV9 , currently away on her annual at Oaksey Park. Have flown her 4-5 times in the past year or so and shes a lovely example.

I did my first few trips of my CFS course in 1992 in XX614! Nice little aeroplane and clearly in good hands now!

I don't regret selling XX614, having rebuilt her from scratch but do miss her. Don't miss the monthly expenditure being a single owner (no syndicate). Still flying G-BCUS however.
