Don't remember exactly when Skysport were formed, but they've been going for close on 20 years now.
Location is Hatch, near Sandy, Bedfordshire, England.
Portfolio of aircraft... wow, where do I start? :) Notable ones include Bulldog K2227 static for the RAFM, four Bristol Fighters over the years including D8084 airworthy with the Fighter Collection. Hawker Demon K8203 currently under rebuild to fly, as is Bristol Beaufighter 1F X7688.
Aeroplane Monthly ran a very good article about Skysport in August 2000 - I'm happy to scan and email a copy to you if you wish.
