March News
UK Reaches 500th G-reg RV
Two more RV’s have flown in the UK, G-CSET RV7 and G-DCLL RV14. These were cleared to fly before G-IGBF, that I knew about from other sources, so by my records G-IGBF can have the 500th flag. LAA may of course know otherwise as they have the official records.
February News
A new RV4 build has started, good luck with the build.
RV8 G-IGBF takes to the air. This now leaves just 4 more to have flown with a G-reg to get to the 500 mark. Meantime the mother ship has logged over 11500. The rate of increase has scaled back the last few years, possibly due to increasing costs, but they keep on taking to the air.

3 more flying RV’s in the UK, or ready to test at least. RV7 G-RVSP, RV9 G-TRKY and RV10 G-TREL. Well done to all and enjoy. Also in the LAA mag this month are two new starts, a RV4 and a RV10, hope you both enjoy the journey, 11490 completed RV’s can’t be wrong.
