Carries the colours of US/UK aircraft propulsion research and development company ZeroAvia, as its second hydrogen-electric power testbed. Taxiing for a Runway 30 departure to its new UK base at Cotswold Airport, Kemble, after a fuel stop at Prestwick following a transatlantic arrival. Built in 1986. Became N228ME. Joined Vision Air at Las Vegas, Nevada, in 2001 and was re-registered N409RV in 2004. Acquired by ZeroAvia Inc of Hollister, California, in 2022 and initially held in storage. Possibly soon to adopt a UK registration. This photo is copyright © David A. Montgomery, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
