Aircraft Register Update April 2026

Main photo: Stampe SV4-C(G) G-AYWT has taken up Irish markings as EI-SVB. Pictured above at the Waterford Aero Club Fly-In last summer, this Stampe has had a myriad of owners, including the famous aerobatic pilot Brian Lecomber, who owned it from 1978 until 2000. During its life as a display aircraft, it was painted in several different colour schemes, including sponsorship from Jaguar Cars and the Daily Express. Prior to 1971, it was registered in France as F-BLEY. Jamie Dundon.
