Folks,
What part of 300, specifically C models don't you get? CBi's are not C's :ugh: |

Look on G-INFO - specifically
|
G-INFO is quite helpful.
It indicates that there are about 43 Hughes/Schweizer 300s currently on the 'G' reg - of which about half are the more powerful 'C' models. But, it doesn't identify which are being operated for trainining and SFH. To explain; a few years ago, I had a very nice S.300'C' and I was regularly being approached by people asking if it was available for trainining or rental - as they wanted to fly a Hughes/Schweizer - and specifically a 'C'. At the time I didn't want to rent it out and, when I decided to sell, it went very quickly for exactly this usage. However, although I went turbine, I really missed the 300 and, by chance, came across a 'barn find' (another story, but formerly G-OCJK). A year later it's back in the air, almost like new, and absolutely brilliant. http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7131/7...35988059_z.jpg This time, I am thinking of allowing it to be used for selected training and SFH, but first wanted to check the geographical availability of other 300 'C's in the UK. |
Fly7,
I was watching Roger rebuild that "barn find", as you call it. And it is indeed like a new machine and looks absolutely stunning. I'm still operating your ex C model down in Spain and 2 CBi's here in the UK. Would be nice to know that your C is available too!! |
Thanks.
Roger, and others (Peter, Tony, Eric, Rex, Andrew Harvey, ....) all did a great job. It will be hangared at Gloucs with G-BOXT, and Ray Jones as principal instructor. |

Good evening 'Fly' ... would you have any interest in seeing it displayed? (Air Shows & possible competition work) Regards. Dennis K.
