Photo Comment

At the time the aircraft was owned by Delta Jets who restored it in the hope of getting her flying in the UK, which sadly never happened. She went to Thunder City in South Africa as ZU-NIP and is now part of Hangar 51 who aim to use the former Thunder City aircraft for Adversary Air Services.
