MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS
I am gradually surfacing from underneath a pile of bulging logbooks from my Latin American trip & trying to catch up with the events of the past two weeks. It is very gratifying to see how many postings there were to the list during the last fortnight despite the absence of several other regular posters including Malcolm Baldry, Steve Pigg & Paul Giblin who were also on the same overseas jaunt.
One recent biz jet addition to the UK register was G-NLPA HS125/750 (HB-14) registered to Hangar 8.
