| I don't know if its recorded but this aircraft was the last Scout to be flown by the SAS. How do I know? I was the pilot who flew it out of Hereford when it was replaced by the Augusta 109. The SAS took a long time to get over not having this aircraft as their workhorse. I have a photo of the this Scout leaving Hereford in my log book. | |
