Notes: This is me, on my 21st Birthday, 10th July 1978. This aircraft was used for pleasure flights from Sandown Airport, Isle of Wight. Not sure how long she was there for, quite some years I thought. We had a half hour flight, and went right round the Island. I have other pictures from the flight, out of the window but none of the interior. It was the only time I have ever flown. |
