JT has had quite a few different looks in her time:
From the original Blackburn Cirrus Engine days:
JT taken at Eastleigh in 1959
to her Merlin Flying Club days where she was converted to the Continental 0-200:
To a darker blue and white colour scheme of the 1980’s:
JT sometime in the early 1980’s at Aboyne
To the way she looks today:
I have to say, I like the original and the current guises, the best, but I wonder how many more changes she’ll go through?
You can see a few more images of her past lives in the JT Gallery Archive.

I like picture sets like this that show the same aircraft at various times in its life and the changes it went through. Looks like JT has had an interesting life.
She certainly has. I often wonder just how many people have flown in her and what their stories are.A lot of hands have been at those controls before mine. That’s why it’s so nice to hear from any of her past pilots.
It also makes you wonder how many of those who flew her are still among the living and how many are up there with you when you fly but just not in the cockpit with you.
That’s a spooky thought Im not sure I want to dwell on! It is the sense of all that history – human history, that the old thing has ‘seen’ though, that is part of the allure of these old machines – like flying time capsules.
