G-CREY preparing for maiden flight at Newtownards airfield, Northern Ireland
After being given approval by the CAA and LAA on 30th March 2011, we began the test schedule for the SeaRey Prototype.
G-CREY will go through a series of tests before being evaluated by Paul Mulcahy, the CAA Test Pilot.
It will then be added to the approved LAA list of homebuilt aircraft.
