Something else that has struck me as odd is the choice of this aircraft for a charity that specialises in flying the disabled. The G109 is not actually that easy to get in and out of, particularly...

Double Wow Lima Juliet! I honestly had no idea the RAF/ACO/VGS etc was so incompetent. And every single one of the 109s (70-ish?) is suspect? Triple Wow. My buddy has zero interest in keeping one in...
