Though it has been back for a time, we have not yet mentioned the shiny new white aeroplane we have!G-EOLX (we tend to refer to it in conversation by the last two letters - or "Lima-Xray") is now with us again after a make over in white at FlyMoore, Dunkeswell. It was stripped back to bare metal (aluminium) and treated before being painted in the new colour. It certainly looks different after the distinctive blue paintwork before and it is great to see all the corrosion dealt with. Though it does not corrode in quite the same way as a car would, the sea air here does no favours to aircraft hulls and it is sensible to renew the paintwork every 5 years or so. LX is now available for lessons and is working well!
