The Xyla was designed and built by Mr. Shield who was
headmaster at Mexborough Grammar School in Yorkshire. It was damaged in
an accident at Finmere in 1980 and rebuilding commenced at Uckfield in
1996, the aircraft making its first post restoration flight in 1999. It
has an aerobatic capability and has recently been re-engined.
