Where'd you get the photo, Greg? ???

'Cos, if that's the real 844, she was my favourite aircraft to work on :-*

 ... but she was in much better nick back then. :icon_crap:

Still, she's flying in the pic, & that's "A good thing!" :smiley:

Thanks, Greg! :smiley:

So, cool! 8) It is 844! :D

Looks like she's had a tough life in retirement but nothing a quick re-spray can't fix, now, if they decide to. ;)
