Nice catch and record shot.

Re: First grobs delivered
Anyone know if these have flown yet? Just had a Grob over Spalding, South Lincs and it sounded more meaty than the normal one
Came back a few mins later looked like a old one, pilot must have just been given it some

Re: First grobs delivered
That's good news. I was worried they would end up at Wittering and have the problems spotting there

They look a bit reminiscent of the old Bulldog.
Look forward to catching a few of these Super Dogs when they start flying.

I trained on Pups from Sywell, which was basically an underpowered Bulldog.

Many Thanks Tom
With the depletion of all our types, I'm looking forward to seeing something relatively new...

Re: First grobs delivered
G-CGYG and YH are showing of Felixstowe on FR24, are these 2 more on delivery?
Re: First grobs delivered
They're a Eurofox and a Magni Autogyro respectively.
Re: First grobs delivered
