Our Ex GHANAIAN AIR FORCE - BULLDOG

Formerly serving in the Ghanaian Air Force our Bulldog returned to the UK having flown no more than 500 hrs! It remains one of the lowest houred Bulldogs on the register and now possesses a completely modernised instrument panel, including a Garmin 430 GPS system.

Bulldog design origins emanated from the historic Miles Aircraft Company when they became part of Beagles at Shoreham in the 1960s and created the Beagle Pup 150. At the request of the RAF, a Pup 150 similar to ours, was rebuilt and became the Bulldog prototype! Hence both machines are intimately related and possess closely matching performances. The Bulldog being beefier than the Pup with a bubble canopy and a 200 hp variable pitch propeller engine.

Capable of 1100ft/min rate of climb, Bulldogs are fully aerobatic with beautifully harmonised controls. Without doubt ours is one of the finest of the breed!

The aircraft illustrated now operates at Kemble - Cotswold Airport - in the Cotswolds, alongside our Beagle Pup 150 G-TSKY.

Should you be wishing to acquire an interest in one of these splendid machines, our Bulldog owners group still has one final share available!

Whatever your interest, why not call us for a trial sortie?
