MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS
Apologies if some the above is old news, as I am still catching up with the events of the past week. Many thanks to Ken Ede for keeping me in the picture regarding first visits & to all the regular posters who have been hard at it while I was away. Good to see so many friends at EBACE again.
A new biz jet addition to the UK register is Falcon 2000EX G-LSMB (047 ex N365FJ), which was registered to Beauport Aviation on 13/5.
