Very annoyingly, the folders no longer contain the FRA supplements - I have emailed Pilot DAR and apologised for getting his hopes up. My advice remains to contact Dukeries Aviation at Netherthorpe who operated a fleet of FRAs and are an approved maintenance organisation and good people.

Back in about 1980, when Derek Johnson, CFI of 3 Counties Aero Club, was invited to take an aircraft into RMA Sandhurst, he used one of his Aerobats either G-BBNX or 'Y. The main parade ground in front of the Academy building is a shade under 200m long and he successfully landed, then took off again. I personally (with only 400hr TT) wouldn't like to try that in a C152 but I would in an Aerobat.
I suppose an AAC Auster or even a Beaver might have done it in the past but as far as I'm aware that was the only civil aircraft to do it.
The reason for the visit was 3 Counties had a contract to train some Sandhurst Officer Cadets to PPL standard.
