Good evening, I have just read the wonderful article on my favourite vintage jet .
It is really worrying that this is not only the last of its type in the U.K. but that it might soon be grounded for ever.
Had I not got my own turbine powered vintage aircraft of a similar age I might have been persuaded to join you. I believe ,like you, I have the only one of the type now flying in this country.
Sometime I will try to come over to Coventry ,if I may, to have a look at this wonderful example .
Like you I struggle on spares so I understand that too, having been recently quoted a staggering £85,000 for a fuel pump. I got one in the end but not from them.
I fly an Alouette 11 manufactured in 1964 and it spent its service life with the Swiss army. I have owned it for 23 years.
My hope is that ,as a result of this article, you manage to field a few more serious investors. Best of luck.
