Sorry to bother Lightning owners. I am now, I hope, on the last stretch of efforts to get my UK permit.

It would very much appreciated. Also if you know of the contact details of anyone with an Esqual outside the US, UK, Sweden or Belgium I would appreciate them. Especially keen to get in contact with the current owners of the tail numbers in the US: N46LM N117DA N312L N622EA N925S N937HP I am making efforts to contact them directly.
