As an enthusiast that cut their teeth on prop types like this back in the day, this seriously appeals. I'd been hoping to catch one of the two beautifully adorned Golden Knights C-31s while in service, but delighted with this opportunity, even if the other is now preserved much closer to home in its country of origin.
