This Aircraft was built in Asheville, NC in the early 70's. Maybe started earlier than that by Olver & Clark. By 1977 it had crashed twice. Once because of Carb Ice, second time No 1 Cylinder went down and it nosed over on landing. It was purchased as a wreck late 1977 and then went for repair to WV where it flew successfully for many years. The owner used it to commute daily! It arrived in UK in 1989 where it was converted to side by side 2 seat. I purchased it in early 2009 and converted back to single seat operation. Now based at my Airstrip at White Ox Mead near Bath. Paint scheme updated too as CAA objected to small Registration letters on Fuselage and their colour!
