Aircraft Details
Seller reportedDescription
After 13 wonderful years I am looking to pass on ownership of TB20 G-OTUI (serial number 1096, built 1990) to her next fortunate owner. The plane is painted in TUI s colours and bears the registration Go TUI. From 2003 to 2006 it was part of small fleet of six different SEP planes under their group ownership, all painted the same in TUI s colours and was serviced by TUI s posh maintenance division at Luton Airport at the time. I am the third owner since then and I have flown her all around the UK and to France, Germany, Italy, Holland and elsewhere. She is fast (cruises at 150kts at 50 litres per hour) and capable (four-up and full fuel) and can fly continuously for six hours. If you want to tour properly in comfort then this is a superb plane in which to do it. Airplane time state: During its annual in early 2026 some minor spalling was detected on the engine camshaft and the engine was sent to Gama Aviation in Oxford for repair and update. This involved new Lycoming cylinders, camshaft/lifter replacement, CSU overhaul and magneto overhaul. This uprated the engine to a better condition than it had ever been under my 13-year ownership and G-OTUI has flown regularly since. As at May 2026 the engine has a total of 671.3 hours since new in 2005. The airframe has 3012.5 hours at May 2026 and the prop has 81.9 hours.
