Has Northolt Station Flight Disbanded?

Notice on the latest UK Serials update that all 3 Islanders are now back to their civvie reg's and owned by a company in Cumbernauld. I was aware that the Station Flight a/c were being crewed by AAC flight crew, so does that mean they've just defaulted to using AAC Defenders instead? I've not seen o...

Re: SM845 Returns

In my opinion one of the best looking Spitfires on the circuit. When at RIAT 2015 it was flown by an ex-BBMF pilot and owned by the man behind Eastern Airways. Be a shame to see it disappear away.

And seeing which family the Rhythm Guitarist comes from, you can see why a G550 can be used for a band Ive never heard of!

Must be a good air-test if it is one , as it's currently approaching Koblenz
