OK chaps, what's this rare bird then? Recently restored & the only example of its kind in the UK, maybe in Europe. (I suspect Charlie & Felix will know.)

Now for something a little different. You've heard of nose-art - well I suppose this is tail-art. Maybe it will start a new trend. :D

Not sure I've ever seen one before.

Most pictures of it have wheel covers...the lack thereof made it a little trickier.  lol

I thought of Foz when I spotted that. Unlike nose-art moving the rudder gives a novel effect. :o ;)

and the owner's called Melvyn and did the commentary at the Dunsfold show a couple of weeks back...

Not sure I've ever seen one before.


You probably wouldn't have done Doug as its first flight was only a month or two ago (well documented on the FlyPast forums...). Very nice little bird...
