dubmastrruk,
I think G-BHXB should be G-BXHB?
Thanks for your updates and keep them coming please!

Re: DHFS SQUIRRELS & GRIFFINS
No there are 4 Squirrels as above. Those two odd ball Squirrels were sold a while back to ZK-IFI & ZK-IDR. No clue as to the wreckages as Shawbury is now TOTALLY anti spotter, you would be supprised as to the goings on.Widget 01 wrote:Any idea if ZK199 (G-DOIT) and ZK200 (G-CEYO) are still st Shawbury?

Re: DHFS SQUIRRELS & GRIFFINS
Many thanks I appreciate it. I had heard Shawbury was very anti-spotter, a shame really as the visits were excellent.
Do you have a departure date for ZJ269 (G-BXJN) I noticed it doesn’t seem to have been sold to the states?
Thanks again,
Ben
