Tail number is #284 not the 211 on the side. That was the production number.

They could have got a couple of ex- RAF C-130J`s cheap, never raced or rallied.  ;)


The Casa is a very sleek looking machine, I note still some folks moaning about war-mongering, these pea-brains might be glad of the Casa if they ever need rescuing.
