‘Victor Mike’ is a gorgeous 172 with a 6-cylinder Rolls Royce Continental engine with just 380hrs since it was Zero timed in 2014. She was rented through Bristol Aero Club based out of Gloucester for 3 years until 2020. As the only club aircraft not used for training, she was a favourite with members wanting to tour.
Since moving to Waltham she has been under used and needs pilots who want to fly her!
Very easy to fly with great useful load of 439 KG (better than many later 172’s), All-round LED lights and strobes. She’s fitted with a Garmin GMA 342 Intercom with 3D stereo sound, and a Garmin GNC 255a Nav/Com. USB changing points. She’s in a nice clean condition.
