NOTES: We have Mr Graham Frost, a long term friend of this 'Guide', to thank for pointing out this location.
It appears that this is the base for the Aeroprakt A22-L Foxbat, G-VINA. Ever since it was first available in the UK I became quite a fan of this type - it ticking all of my boxes as it were. Never got the chance to fly one, or even being a passenger. But, once transported one in my truck from central Spain back to the UK for repair, after it was damaged in one of the most bizarre circumstances I have ever heard of. During a major microlight meeting at Marugan, west of Madrid in 2012, a freak tornado passed across the site, lifted up a large marquee, and dumped it onto this Foxbat! So, when it comes to the Foxbat, at least I can say I am very much 'hands-on'.
We'd love to hear from you, so please scroll down to leave a comment!
