      Thank you for the lovely warm welcome,yes this was my home for many years and I am back thanks to John finding me ! the model is initially being flown in primer so adjustments and modifications can be made without marring the finish,as I worked on the full sized prototype and its a fixed gear Heron 1 then it will be finished as G-ALZL,the choice of schemes was wide ranging from BEAC polished alloy at the Farnborough air show,Japan airlines had it for a while and as I knew it with Cimber Air,or evn the short lived airline Emerald Airways.
