The Monsun at Biggin G-AYPE, has been a group aircraft since about 1974. Some of the current owners were the original group owners. I had my share in that aircraft from 1990 to 1996. It is the oldest group at Biggin of the few light aircraft still there !!!! I have owned my current RV6 for 15 years, took it away from Biggin last May and sold two one third shares to a couple of friends.

I was thinking about 'YPE while reading Page 1 - I recall seeing her at Biggin in '75 or '77 and as far as I can recall she's had the current scheme for most of those years?

Mr Graty has owned Jodel D150 G-ASKL for over 50 years since May 1969, and it's still flying and based at Nuthampstead.

And the winner is.............?

Raymond Blain and his son Richard.

Spartan Arrow G-ABWP in continuous ownership from 1964.

[Hooligan]

1964 - That's as long as me!

In terms of an organisation and airworthy aircraft, Shuttleworth...?

When I was learning to fly at Air Touring in 1973, it was the original colour scheme of white over red bottom of the fuselage. There was another Monsun in the club
G-AZDD which was same scheme but orange.

Bought my SF260 (secondhand) in May 1984 and still can't think of another aircraft I could replace her with. At 35 years 7 months that's a lot more than half my adult life; wish I had kept the car I owned at that time!

[Mike Charlie]

Well I have kept a car I bought on December 3rd 40 years ago this year ...! Aircraft, a puny 4 and 15 years

Not since metrication at least - the eye-watering memory of losing 4.8mm put him off.

They're usually 30.5cm.

Anyway, had the Bulldog for 18.5 years. One day I'll get round to fitting seat backs and a radio which works.
