Re: New owner of G-NIPS

Thank you Neil - very Kind of You... I have spoken to Paul Grellier about doing this job for me. I imagine that he is familiar with your mod. Or is there a significant difference?

Re:Another New owner of G-NIPS!

Hi All, 1970...….. (yes in the last Century) I worked, as a 16 year old spotty youth at Elstree for the" Airtouring" shop owned by one Robert (Bob) Pooley. At that time Bob was the owner of 2 Nippers. G-AVKH from memory was one of them. I used to push them around the hangar and display the...
