I have several repaints for U.S. registered Cessna 337H's (Carenado) and a few from a smattering of other countries but none from the UK. How come? Am I just looking in the wrong places?

Its not a very common aircraft now, and it wouldn't surprise me if there are no more registered in the UK. If you want to research it, go to the CAA website

Thanks for that. There are currently only nine registered. However, these do not appear very spiffy, and unless someone had a personal connection, I suspect they didn't catch the imagination of the repainters.

As many as nine ? According to my search on the CAA website, there are only three - G-AXHA, G-BCBZ and G-HIVA.

That's because a lot of Cessna's are suffering from an FAA 'ageing aircraft directive'; effectively means having to re-spar the wings on some, cost of which is often greater than value of aeroplane.

There is even at least one cool repaint for Carenado's 337 in British register. I usually check these kind of things from www.airliners.net (http://www.airliners.net)

There is almost every aircraft on earth photographed.
