The Trident first flew 9th January 1962 making it just over 50 years old :cheers: :guinn: :party:

G-ARPO in it's present state is in better condition than me and there are no plans for my restoration :'(

:hello:

I need a restoration society , for my transmission :(
It gave up the ghost 5 blocks from home this morning after giving 270,000 miles of service.
Thankfully, being a Ford, it still got me back home ..... in reverse ! Image
