Ian --- Kidlington it was -- also seem to remember one used to turn up at Luton FC occasionally from Leicester

The way the gear was explained to me was it gave the clearance of a taildragger while still maintaining good visibilty
over the nose --- seems like a goods as answer as any --- Oh yes the one from leicester had that odd spinner with
little vortex generator looking thingies like the Zlin -- something peculiar to Walter engines???

Hmm, so much for memory

G-APVU Biggin Hill 1971
G-APWV Biggin Hill 1965
G-AROF Blackbushe 1975
G-ARSO Biggin Hill 1967
G-ASTT Fairoaks 1964 (!)

And most of those were before I could drive so public transport or indulgent father

The Biggin sightings were at the annual Air Show and any subsequent sightings elsewhere were not noted by me :-(

But looking at the GINFO data (I see that pre 1986 data is scanned in now), they were imported via Kidlington and may have been back there later as well.

Ermmm I was thinking more like 1966-68 Ian
