Them was good days. I missed the timetable there, joining in Nov of '78. Finally reluctantly left what was remaining Apr '03.

Thanks Jerbourg. As you are probably aware, G-BLFJ was our one and only -100 series. Originally, with Air Anglia it was registered G-SPUD, after "Spud" Murphy. It went to Manx at the start of their...

Being a very simple aeroplane, there wasn't much to go wrong, although the pneumatics could catch some people out. I always considered it to be a "Ronseal" aeroplane. It "did what it said on the...
