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. Cheesy

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

No, Theis - G-AZJY is a Cessna of sorts, quite a bit different   Grin  (Though I can see where the tail art might have confused you..)

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...
