We tied the aeroplane safely in to the 7.5 tonne truck and drove carefully to Bournemouth. The team at Airtime Paint worked wonders on finishing the fibreglass and then prepping, masking and painting the aeroplane

The story in photos


Delivered to Airtime Paint's hangar at Bournemouth Airport.		Masked up and primed

Wings and tail feathers being prepared		Blue layer on and masking up the lines

Masking up the wings for the other two colours		Fairings and other little bits after painting

Almost done - due to the cold the wings needed another day to cure		We took the fuselage home and collected the wings a day or so later
