SMOKE ON GO has been formed to own and manage a Christen Eagle 2 Biplane. The aircraft is a high performance fully aerobatic aircraft with a superb power to weight ratio.
There are currently only 14 Christen Eagles in the UK. These are rare and sought after aircraft. EGIL is based in Shropshire and will be out and about regularly. Keep looking up - you cant miss us!
G-EGIL was recently overhauled completely by AVIAT in the USA by the previous owner. Since coming to the UK she has only flown enough hours to complete the permit to fly requirements. Essentialy the aircraft is brand new (and looks it as well!)

She is pictured above with a visiting Spitfire Mk1A.
Pictured below with a new friend, a C17 Globemaster from Brize Norton. We where a bit worried our prop wash may effect the C17. But luckily all was well?!. Thanks to 99 Sqn OC for letting us take this shot.
As more aircraft come to visit we will post up the pictures of EGIL's new friends.
