Van's RV-8

02/28/2019. Remarks by Johan Visschedijk: "Robert D. Grigson of Beaverton, Oregon, USA, completed this aircraft with some modifications, including a 205 hp Aero Sport IO-375-M1B engine. Grigson had it registered N215RG as the Grigson RG-8 on June 9, 2009, two months later, August 11, the aircraft received an CofA. Remarkably, the aircraft had applied an RNZAF roundel on the starboard side and a RAAF roundel on the port side. Later Grigson moved to Strathfieldsaye, Victoria, Australia, and had his aircraft reregistered VH-NZG on March 5, 2013."
