Air-Britain News – August 2019

(nextflipdebug5) #1
March 2018 after a ferry flight from Winnipeg in Canada routing
Iqaluit-Reykjavik-Prestwick-Lydd-Calshot-Duxford and finally to
Teesside. Apparently it still awaits resolution of a paperwork problem
before it can continue the journey to Bangladesh. Although having
received a CofA renewal on 26th March Piper PA-28-161 G-BOXC was
engineless on the day and Shadow CD G-MVVT remains unflown for
some time (Permit expired in 2013, but now with SSDR status since
May 2015 it no longer requires renewal).
