Extra info:
The engines were taken into service following supply from TCM on 21st July 2005 and operated in another B55 which then was retired from service in 2007. Both engines were then inhibited and stored. The previous owner purchased both engines in 2013 and they were sent to CFS at Coventry for a strip inspection prior to return to service. Just had 3 new cylinders on one engine.
The hull went through a full strip inspection following removal of the interior. Various trim cables were replaced and in particular the following:
New wing bolts May 2014
Landing Gearbox overhauled May 2014
It is impossible to find a plane this good, with everything just done so she can be delivered to the new owner ” turnkey”.
