A marvellous end to Airways Aero Association's third quarter, as Managing Director Tim Orchard confirmed that the first Tecnam twin for a UK private owner, located in the West Midlands, will be delivered in spring 2011.

The new owner was captivated by the testimonials he had seen and read in numerous British general aviation magazines over the autumn. He approached Tim in October for an opportunity to take a closer look at the aeroplane. He really appreciated the flight experience and of course acknowledges the low capital cost and low running costs .... a twin for the price of a single.

The aeroplane will fit into the owner's own hangar perfectly. He was pleasantly surprised when he realised that the footprint of the Tecnam twin is the similar to his current single engine aeroplane. That was his decision made and he has naturally chosen Airways Flying Club for an MEP Rating course and is already designing the livery for his new aeroplane!

Only 18 months after EASA certification and there are now over 50 Tecnam P2006T twins operating worldwide, with Tecnam delivering a new twin every 5 days
