About this Photo
Description:
Mike Beach, the previous owner, is in the front cockpit with Mark along for the ride. Contrast the original front cockpit canopy with the 'bubble' unit which was fitted later, shown in other images.
The inlet for the oil cooler can just be made out in the 'root' of the wing. Also, note the substantial landing gear; these aircraft were designed to take punishment from Chinese cadet pilots on rough airfields.
