Always saddens me a little that the Dak, which is by far the best of the bunch imho, takes such a back seat. I'd love to see it at RIAT

You could always come to Wellesbourne on 16th June. ;)

They seem to have scaled down the amount of displays/appearances she does now.

Do we think that could be for fatigue reasons?

Why go to Wellesbourne? You only have ONE aircraft to play with. LOADS at Bruntingthorpe and I get in there for free ;)

I only managed to see the dak do an engine run last week, we were too late to see her fly.
