RV12 at Barton?

I'm visiting UK from Oz. Building an RV 12 at home and wondering if there's a completed one at Barton I could see this coming Monday as I'll be passing en route to MAN. I've got empennage, tailcone and wings complete, working on centre section, and I have never seen a real one :-)

Cheers

I think there are only about 4 RV-12s flying in the UK so far. I've heard about ones in Booker, Yorkshire and one in Scotland.

I'd suggest trying to make contact through the Yahoo rvsqn email group to reach owners and builders in the UK

G-Info suggests there are three with registered owners not far from Manchester, and eight in the UK.

G-CGVD

All blue RV12 G-CGVD is a Barton based flyer and may be seen in the first hangar by the entrance.

Thanks!

ANW, thanks very much. Had a walk around RV12 G-CGVD this afternoon and it answered several of my questions! I left my card tucked under the canopy cover - didn't have a pen handy to leave a message so if you know the owner, please tell him it's a beautiful aircraft and has helped me see where I'm going with my project.

Isn't Pprune wonderful :-)

Cheers
