Recollections: The Bulldog was originally ordered by the Swedish Air Force (hence the “SK” designation) but was later used by the RAF, as a basic trainer with Aerobatic capability. The airplane’s cockpit has a feel of a military airplane (with stick and throttles on left for both pilots).
It handles quite well, has aerobatic capability and is a wonderful airplane in which to fly formation.
Mark Grimshaw’s Bulldog may be unique in that it has a full-glass cockpit. Very well equipped!
