Flew it once about 20 years ago on one of the charter flights from EXT over the Bay of Biscay and back again, wasn't cheap at around £600 each and I had to take the Girlfriend at the time as well ! Access to EXT was pretty dire and the road used to get jammed with people just turning out to watch it.
Great pic - thanks!
