Subject: G-BZTH flies!
> Today 22-12-02, Tim Houlihan's Classic monowheel G-BZTH first flew
> from Kemble with Dave Hunter at the helm. The empty weight was 782 lb
> with Rotax 912 & Warp Drive prop. More details, no doubt, from Tim in
> due course.
>
> The permit to test from PFA engineering arrived chez Houlihan earlier
> this week on the morning of the nicest day we've had around here for
> some time, with light winds and cloudless skies. However, getting the
> paperwork, the nominated test pilot, the aeroplane, the weather and
> one time proved difficult. After several frustrating days when one or
> other piece of the jigsaw was missing, Tim told Dave Hunter to go
> ahead and fly it if everything else looked good, even if he couldn't
> be there to witness it. So, he & Anne were somewhere in Lancashire
> taking the pretty route home from the (very enjoyable) Europa Club
> Christmas dinner when they got the good news on the mobile phone.

> Congratulations Tim!
