Formerly G-NOEL and prior to that G-BCWN this Alan Mann supplied 206 was once flown by PPRuNers
Long Box and
Paco. With Paco, according to
Dennisimo, the cyclic came off in his hand while performing the full freedom of movement check prior to start-up!
Another PPRuNer involved with this craft was
TRC who helped transform the ship from BCWN to NOEL.
