Hi Dave
Pleased you saw them, N83VK was heading back east OTT Worplesdon 16.47
G-APTY an oldtimer I don't remember seeing before but looks like it's had Lancashire based owners since 1968 so maybe not surprising, and prior to that, 1961-1968 Stan Stennet Ltd, Cardiff (who I presume was the Comedian)
Regards
John

Hi again John. G-APTY's owner was indeed the comedian Stan Stennett. He used to do summer seasons at Scarborough and, while there, kept the Bonanza in a field near to the farm where my great aunt lived. The days when I still collected light aircraft. Stan died in 2013.
