Trade-A-Plane

A place for 'real world' pilots and aviation enthusiasts to discuss their hobby

Just received a "Trade-A-Plane" large magazine/newspaper item in my mail today, and despite being mostly a US-based operation, they seem to have the occasional overseas advertisement in there.

Noticed that this was being sold on page 58:
