Opis

Here we have this beautifully presented Boeing Stearman with a fascinating history and genuine film star status.

G-AROY was built in 1942 as a PT17 by Boeing for the United States Army Air Force. In 1959, it was transferred to the civilian Register as N56418 in Buena WA and converted to a crop sprayer. During this process, it was upgraded with the iconic PW R985 engine giving it a much needed boost in performance. In June 1961 John Jordan (Jordans Mill), a keen aviator and motor racer, imported the aircraft to the UK where it was used as a crop sprayer for several years with Aerial Farm Services Ltd. Several years later in 1965, it became John’s personal aircraft until he died in 2004.

The current custodian has lovingly looked after ‘ROY’ and used it primarily for charitable functions whist being flown by a professional pilot. Here is a rare opportunity for someone to acquire a much cherished and well known aircraft to be enjoyed for many years to come.
