this aircraft is still flyable,and has recently been re-certified as airworthy.
My father has owned it since 1976, January..
i flew it the other day, and it flys as beautifully as ever. it was off line for 11 years while a part time engineer rebuilt some longerons and re covered it and also replaced much metal in the horizontal stabs. the job dragged on as he was doing this in his spare time. The a/c is now back to the original colors, but not to quite the factory scheme, more of a solid yellow with a wide blue patch covering the cowl and proceeding down the side as a stripe..IT looks fantastic if i do say so myself..it will be for sale over the winter. a hard price hasn't been established yet..
i just wanted to get this info on-line..E
