    • Thought most were being used in the "combat simulation" role now in the US where civvies with a PPL get to dogfight against other aircraft. Surprised it was left in those colours.
      For now, everything hangs on implementation of the CoDF report.

      • there are four ex AC Marchettis in their original colours in the US. It was the white ones that went into the air combat schools.

              202 found a home at the Ulster Aviation Society in Lisburn. I volunteered there for a time before the RONA arrived!

              There was an information board beside the aircraft with the pictures taken by the wedding photographer the day she ditched.

                Ditching is a word. It may not be a true or relevant word but it is a word.

                  They have a series of photographs taken by a wedding photographer, who was standing on the short line at Lough Eske, who documented the moments immediately before and immediately after the aircraft entered the Lough.

                  Ultimately entering a wet environment where said aircraft was not designed to operate causing damage to said aircraft.
