Bulldog?

[ozzy72]

Fret the Bulldog is a two-seater, so your luck might be in

It also seems popular with private owners since the RAF replaced it with the Slingsby Firefly.

..and now all the lucky young RAF sproglets get to fly the Grob Tutor, which unlike some RAF aircraft (Chinook Mk3 and Typhoon) IS allowed to fly in cloud. Only the Army and Navy get to fly the Firefly at Barkston Heath now...

Thanks Charlie. I stand corrected. There you have it folks, straight from the horse's mouth.

Did you meet Chris Carder yet?

Just to let you guys know I talked to the Doctor last evening and it is in fact a Scotish Aviation Bulldog that he owns, so with lack of any useful information Hagar hit the nail on the head!
I'm looking forward to seeing this plane in person and will take photos to post.

It really wasn't that difficult Fret, especially as I saw the Pup & Bulldog being built, test flown & also worked on them.

Durn you ARE old!  Was Mr. Sopwith a nice guy?  The most I've seen is a 1-1/2 Strutter in the nude, no fabric.

LOL I half expected that.

I almost pointed out that this is the Beagle Pup & Bulldog, nothing to do with Sopwith or Bristol.

PS. Maybe that should be BEAGLE.

And, pray tell, I beseech thee, since when have we let the facts get in between us?
