History[]
Built in 1932[2] G-ABWP originally flew with a white tail fin, but since 1976, this has been pale Blue.[3]
At 14:02 hours on 27 October 1985, the lower left mainplane of G-ABWP came into contact with the tailplane of Piper J3 Cub G-AKAZ, after both aircraft had landed on runway 27 at Barton Aerodrome, Lancashire.[2]
