Notes:

An interesting one off. Built by Scottish Aviation at Prestwick in 1975, as the prototype (and only) Bulldog 200 (aka Bullfinch) a development of the Bulldog military trainer (itself derived from the Beagle Pup. The Bullfinch was designed for the civil touring market as well as the Bulldog 200 version for the military, with a retractable undercarriage, and a fourth seat. There was little interest, due to cost and competition from Piper. In 1980 the aircraft was acquired by Dukeries Aviation, moving to Netherthorpe, where their engineering department undertook significant modifications later, resulting in it being re-certified as a Dukeries Bulldog, circa 1989. Still beautifully presented today.
