We are told that Shropshire Aero Club, based at Sleap Aerodrome, near Shrewsbury, is the UK fastest growing aero club in the UK and will now be home to its new Tecnam P2002JF G-CGWO.

The Aero Club was so enthusiastic with it selection of the Tecnam single engine aeroplane that two of its club members Bob Pooler (CFI) and Tony Elliott had the pleasure of personally collecting their new aeroplane direct from Tecnam's production facility in Capua, near Naples, Italy.

Bob said, ''It was an absolute joy to ferry Shropshire Aero Club's new Tecnam to the UK, It purred all the way!''  Bob and Tony enjoyed eleven hours in the air, routing via Pisa, Avignon and Rouen before arriving at Tecnam's UK base at Wycombe Air Park.
