Mr Christain Dries and Mr Andy Madge, the Director of Air Traffic Services at Cobham Aviation confirm the sale of the first Diamond DA42 MPP GUARDIAN in the United Kingdom. After the installation of special role equipment by Diamond Airborne Sensing, part of Diamond Aircraft GmbH, the aircraft will be used for the inspection and calibration of airfield navigation systems.

As well as being a very cost effective aircraft with very low direct operating costs Cobham Aviation are extremely pleased with the aircrafts 'green' credentials. The very low fuel burn of around 30 litres of Jet-A1 per hour results in very low levels of pollution and the low noise signature minimises noise pollution. Diamond Aircraft are also investigating the possibility of using green 'bio-fuel' when this becomes available.
