Firefly T67 Service and Support 

Swift Aircraft has taken over the support and service provision for the Slingsby Firefly T67. This follows the revocation of the Type Certificate on 13th May 2019 by Marshall of Cambridge Aerospace Limited and the issue of:

  • EASA Specific Airworthiness Specification: EASA.SAS.A.390.

  • UK CAA Specific Airworthiness Specification: UK.SAS.A.0001

Swift Aircraft will not own the Type Certificate for the aircraft because a surrendered Type Certificate cannot be reversed, however the ownership of the original design data will enable the company to supply original parts or provide alternatives through the established modification process.

T67 Firefly series (T67A, T67B, T67M, T67M-MkII, T67M200, T67M260 & T67M260-T3A), were originally manufactured by Slingsby Aviation Limited (SAL) from May 1981 until production ceased in March 2003.  The Swift group has a well-established link to the Slingsby T67 – it already currently provides support to many UK-based T67 aircraft and previously supported the Royal Jordanian Air Force T67 fleet prior to their replacement with Grob 120TP aircraft. The company was also responsible for the refurbishment of 22 Slingsby T67M260 aircraft after their retirement from UK MOD EFTS service, and these can now be found flying in numerous countries around the globe.
