These guys did lots of cool things and, probably more than anybody else, helped to bring Fourniers to the attention of the general public.
I am sure we will hear from JT, Brendan, Mike, Matt & Tizzy with their anecdotes, but meanwhile, here's an article.
Yours, Bob

Hi Tony,
Yes, I think it is.
As you probably already know, the Skyhawks used BIIF as their spare aeroplane.
I think it is also the nearest one to the camera in the black-and-white photo on the tarmac in Chile (indeed, that may just be a black-and-white rendering of the same photo).
You are probably also aware that I am flying BIIF's red-and-white striped rudder on m aeroplane pending getting around to re-covering my own.
Maybe we can talk about that some time?
Yours, Bob
