Hey Paul,

It looks beautiful. Well done... Noticed the subtle touch on the Vertical Stab too. It's new home?

Best wishes,

Richard

"Suggestions for a name welcome - "The Groovy Goose", "The Groovy Mule" .... can't seem to get anything that really fits"

As a nod to Austin Powers - I suggest "Groovy Baby"

Default Sweet!!!

Gorgeous airplane - you should be proud.

Are those vinyl graphics on the side or paint?

Default Tiny flag

Stunning. Congrats what a feeling. Noticed the little flag in the tail. Long way from "home" boet!
Good luck with the paperwork.
Ex Zimbo. Maybe my 7 will have a little bit of green and white somewhere

Thanks for the kind comments.

Decoration is vinyl. Just had it painted white and added the graphics. There is an SA flag on the right side (the wife being a total yarpie) and a UK on the left. It will eventually end up in SA where we intend to retire to our new home. Still trying to decide whether to fly it down or container it. Flying would be awesome and there is a company called prepare2go which runs regular light aircraft safaris from Europe to SA. However, expensive and a bit worried about the North Africa security situation .....

Richard - how's the -8 coming on?

As for the name, I think I'll go with Mike's suggestion of just "Groovy".
