This 1973 Navajo Chieftain is seen here on the business aviation apron alongside the bmi maintenance hangar at East Midlands Airport. It is owned by Capital Trading of Exeter, its ninth British owner; it has previously been registered G-PMAX, G-GRAM & G-BRHF. The propeller blade angles indicate that it has contra-rotating engines, which prevents the gyroscopic effect of the propellers causing it swing as power is applied.
