Swift Aircraft has acquired a fleet of Slingsby T67.M260 Firefly aircraft, and are now offering them for sale or lease.

Formerly used by the RAF for flight training, these aircraft can be modified to meet the customer's requirements, be they training, aerobatics, and more. They will also be fully overhauled to meet all airworthiness requirements by world class Firefly engineers.

This forms part of our efforts to revitalise the British Aviation industry.
