Hi Nigel, appreciate why you posted it here as it's not a British aircraft but the guys here only build British ones............the Aztec is American!!

Some-one may come along and point you in the right direction where you can get it if it has been built for FS lately.

Regards
Nigel.

This section is for commenting on the odd availiable or up and coming non British classics with, by rights, a British connection.

It's not for major support on none British projects which this site deos not produce as the builders here are British or colonial comitted.

Sorry it if seems a bit narrow , but that's what this site is about and why our members are here :)

Hi garry
It looks like we came fromn the same school of company flying lol the dak's used heavy a anit corrosion green paint on for and the cargo was in box's sealed,

I can almost remmeber the pong in the aztec, most of the company crew were ex raf pilots, had some great times with them, and when i lost hold you will not belive it but on final's the clyinder on starboard engine busrt threw cowling lost oil and i looked like coming home from a bombing mission smoke pouring out black blue oil smoke they saw the fire crew's come to meet me on landing, must admit started looking for bog roll :lol: well there you now you know why i love aztec's :thumbsup:

We had an Aztec at BIA as a crew hack. G-AYLY, painted in the same colour scheme as the 1-11's. :agree:

It was based at Shoreham. :thumbsup:

Unfortunately, if you google the reg, the results are decidedly pink :dunno:
