Gryphon Aviation Partners (UK) Ltd., is proud to announce the recent treatment of a private aircraft owned by Nigel Lamb, eight-time British Unlimited Aerobatic Champion, and winner of the Red Bull Air Race World Championship (2014)
Widely regarded as one of the world’s most accomplished aerobatic pilots, Nigel Lamb’s selection of AGlaze Aviation SealantTM underscores the growing recognition of the product’s performance, protection, and aesthetic benefits—especially by those who understand aircraft performance at its most demanding limits.
The AGlaze treatment was professionally applied by AGlaze International Ltd. (the OEM) to Nigel’s personal aircraft, a VANS RV7, to enhance gloss, protect the paintwork from UV and environmental damage, and to reduce aerodynamic drag due to the ultra-smooth surface.
“As someone who likes to get the most out of any aircraft, I am delighted at the results I noticed after the application of AGlaze. My RV7 has never looked better and it’s now significantly easier to clean the bugs and dirt off. I was also keen to have the UV protection for the paintwork and whilst I was not expecting a noticeable increase in speed, it certainly feels faster!” enthused Nigel Lamb.
Mike Cappuccitti, Managing Director of Gryphon Aviation Partners, commented:
“This is a terrific endorsement from Nigel. His aviation pedigree and attention to detail make this feedback valuable as we expand AGlaze’ presence in commercial aviation and much larger aircraft.”
AGlaze Aviation SealantTM has been independently verified to reduce parasitic drag by 1.3% in wind tunnel testing and is trusted by commercial airlines and many private jet operators and now a leading aerobatic professional. Unlike competitor coatings, AGlaze requires no curing time, is lightweight, and delivers long-term protection without disrupting aircraft operations.
