Newly imported ex G-BDGG and painted in the orange/blue livery of Simpson Air. WFU in 2016 while G-JOEY with Aurigny Air Services. An interesting anecdote concerns the cord just visible hanging from the wing-tip trailing edge. Whilst returning from a previous test flight, the pilot turned the aircraft sharply in front of the hangars doors and promptly stuck a wing-tip through the window. Luckily the pilot was the boss of Simpson Air so he couldn't fire anyone. He claimed the up-swept tip gave a false sense of clearance, so he mandated the yellow cord installation for prevention purposes.
