Angel Old Islander...

Does anybody know where Islander G-BEEG is now?
Last seen at Coventry last March, having arrived August last year, has it even flown since??

I miss it!!

I haven't seen it on recent work related visits to Coventry unless its hiding in one of Atlantiques hangars, it's still registered to owners at Cark airfield

G-BEEG stopped jump flying at Cark June/July 2004. It was taken to CVT in August 2004 as part-ex for the new jumpship at Cark.

Just wondered if it had moved on, or was still there... Or if it had even flown since...

Continuing on the old Islander theme does anyone know how the BN Historians are getting on restoring c/n 003 G-AVCN. I remember seeing that one when I was on holiday with my parents in 1967 when it was brand new.

CAA Database shows G-BEEG as still registered to trustees of the Northwest Parachute Centre,but with an expired CofA (was valid until 5-4-05).

Was noted on the General Aviation Parking ramp at Sevilla (LEZL) in mid May.......

Haven't seen it since, might be in the hangars or have gone! Was in a dirty white scheme with dark blue cheatline and no other noteable marks.

Hope this is of use.....
Cheers
