Sir: I was employed with Saunders Aircraft through Weltrade International, a contracting firm from England, to work on the prototype of the ST27, in 1973. (possibly 1972, memory starting to go). The person I worked under was BRIAN BELLIS, from England. The plant superintendent to the best of my rec...

HI, yes, C-FLOL is in the WCAM storage yard on the outskirts of St. Andrews Airport Manitoba, I saw it there a couple of weeks ago on a drive by.

Remember working on them at city express. British tools needed, Air system for everything and a compressor that was louder than the engines ! One of the AME s was working a double shift and forgot to install the brakes, A/C taxied into the pumps,,,,,, Was a cramped cockpit for the pilots but never ...
