Thank you for your interest. Our Grumman is now sold and we wish her new owner best wishes and hope he has as much fun flying her as we have.
The aircraft you are looking at is a Grumman AA5. It has been owned and operated by a small group of four based at Headcorn. Advancing years mean that our average age is now nearly 60 and we feel the time has come to put the plane up for sale.
The aircraft has been maintained continuously at JRB, a Southend based maintenance facility since 1986. Prospective purchasers will be put in contact so that they can verify the service history before completing a sale.
With an airframe/engine hours record of 2538/952 Alpha Yankee has been lightly used all of her life, and with the replacement of all four cylinders 200 hours ago, and the installation of a brand new propellor in March this year means that the plane is ready to enjoy with all ADs up to date and an immaculate service history.
The aircraft has twin fuel tanks (37 useable US gallons, 140 litres) a cruising speed 110 knots at 30 litres an hour. means an endurance of 4 hours 30 minutes. Interior is trimmed in Blue and Grey leather with a Cambrai cover included in the sale if you intend to keep the plane outside.
We keep the plane in Headcorn's new hangar, where it can be viewed by appointment at any time.
