Built in 1954 as N3277B and exported to Kenya the same year where it became VP-KMY. Imported into the UK in 1956 (first of type) and at this time the owner had an Oxford address. Cancelled as withdrawn from use in 1966. When this was imported there was an embargo on bringing in light aircraft from abroad so as to protect the UK industry from competition (mainly from the USA). Since this and a couple of other exceptions exist, the embargo must have applied to new aircraft only. This photo was added on 11 April 2022, and has since been viewed 254 times. |
