JetRanger G-WIIZ has been sold, then sold again apparently, so watch out for change or changes on G-INFO.

Local(ish) Schweizer G-BUEX has also been lined up for a sale as well.

Hampshire Air Ambulance will be based out of Thruxton from July\August for a 1 year initial contract with Bond using an Mbb 105, it is thought that after the year, they will move up to new aircraft, they hope for an EC135. According to a local source, it was a toss up between Thruxton & Popham, but with zero hangar space & no Jet A1 fuel at Popham, I really don't understand why they even bothered considering the place.

In the Edmondsons paintshop were AS355 G-OHCP, EC135 G-SPAO & LongRanger G-ODCC which will apparently go onto the FAST AOC, which should also include an AS355 soon as well apparently?

BTCC this weekend, so Thruxton will be closed again, unless something interesting goes there, I will be avoiding the area!
