I would rather have just one good brownieW/nuts. The key to finding the
picture was a search for Chuck Herbst after finding out he was the
designer. This produced the N# which led to the picture by Keith Sowter.
I had already emailed Keith asking if he had any additional information
on the Sparrow Hawk. I received his reply this AM:

Thanks for your Interest in my photograph

This was one of three such aircraft , Aero Dynamics Sparrow Hawk Mk.II,
that were imported into the UK in the Mid 1980's - I first saw them as a
group in a Hangar at Swanton Morley .

I believe that only one was made airworthy, N8728A, - here is a photo of
it that I took at an air show at Norwich

The owners of the Sparrowhawk were present when I took the picture of
the Bensen and stated that they "could'nt remember the Registration" at
that time , They stated that the other two airframes had returned to the
USA.

It was their intention to restore the aircraft to flyiong condition.

Hope this helps

Keith
