Photo Comment

The Pioneer was one of the original STOL aircraft being able to take-off across runways rather than along them! This aircraft served with the RAF between 1958 to 68 and served in Cyprus, Libya, Singapore and Sarawak. At retirement she was allocated for museum display and arrived at Cosford during April 89.
