Description
After 13 wonderful years I am looking to pass on ownership of TB20 G-OTUI (serial number 1096, built 1990) to her next fortunate owner. The plane is painted in TUI’s colours and bears the registration “Go TUI”. From 2003 to 2006 it was part of small fleet of six different SEP planes under their group ownership, all painted the same in TUI’s colours and was serviced by TUI’s posh maintenance division at Luton Airport at the time. I am the third owner since then and I have flown her all around the UK and to France, Germany, Italy, Holland and elsewhere. She is fast (cruises at 150kts at 50 litres per hour) and capable (four-up and full fuel) and can fly continuously for six hours. If you want to tour properly in comfort then this is a superb plane in which to do it. I love this plane and will be sad to see her go. However, serious medical issues have caught up with me and so I now need to pass her on to a new owner.
Interior
The interior is original - seats in blue fabric with grey carpets and in general good condition.
Exterior
The paint is as shown in the photos - some minor wear here and there- 7/10 I would say.
