Just had a look on G-Info
G-Blia is listed as "Permanently withdrawn from use"
G-Avkb permit to fly expired in 96 and its owned by someone in Basingstoke.

Thanks for that.
I also looked on G-INFO before posting, but was hoping to find out 'where' they were. Were they on rebuild, or damaged beyond repair etc..

12 years on....
G-AVKB has just got a new owner..... Restoration will hopefully be concluded.

Two years on and there's no trace of G-AVKB resurfacing - either in the UK or abroad. The internet is silent, there are no recent photographs and the link in the preceding post is now dead. Does anyone have any recent information about this aeroplane?

One must assume that it's 'coming along nicely' in the Southend area and that in the fullness of time .....

"Coming along nicely" ...or perhaps just in storage or on someone's "I'll get to it one of these days " list.
I know of a rare 1930s car that hasn't moved under it own power in 60 years...another friend is finishing restoring a Stampe that he's had for 20-30 years.
Hopefullt, they'll be finished one of the days/years/decades. :)

Does anyone know what happened to the Dalotel DM-165 G-BILA, which Robs Lamplough owned sometime in the 80s??
Or the Brochet Pipistrelle G-AVKB which was last heard of in Essex in the late 80s?
Sorry chaps, I have no photographs but if anyone has any, I'd love to see 'em.
