Think that's James Peplow's one... my old PPL instructor, hope he is back up and running soon :thumleft:

Now retired from forums - all the best

Sorry to see that, I have fond memories of flying with James in that Citabria... Glad to hear nobody was injured.

Sorry to see said aircraft in afors spares or repair.
Sets me thinking - I'm not currently active but in a little over 250 logged hours this is the 5th aircraft I have flown which has met a sad end ( fortunately for me none whilst I have been aboard and none which resulted in serious injury or worse).
