Bulldog G-WINI (Didn't know it was still here)

G-WINI has visited several times before (Sep 2016, Sep 2014, Jun 2011) on each occasion arriving with local resident Bulldog G-BZFN as "Bulldog formation" and doing a nice "run & break" before landing. It has usually stayed for a couple of weeks. As I recall, last year it arrived in the above fashion on 17th Sep, and for the next few days G-BZFN was parked outside, rather than being tucked away in one of the clam-shell door hangars in Area M, so I assumed G-WINI was inside. 'FN then disappeared (into Hangar 2 perhaps) and I did not hear or see 'NI depart so it seems it has been here all winter ? It is still registered to an owner with a Cambridgeshire address who acquired it in June 2005.

According to the CAA registration search tool it is still registered to someone with a Huntingdon (near Cambridge) address and has been since 2005
