Narrative:

During the period sept to feb 91, I unknowingly operated my small aircraft out of annual. My last annual was complete in sept 89. In august 90 I had a bird strike causing substantial damage. During the repairs I discussed with the repair station completion of an annual inspection during the repair process because of the extensive work being done. (Ie, engine removal, complete nose replacement). I assumed the annual inspection was completed. Recently during a possible sale of the aircraft a review of the logs revealed that the annual inspection was not completed. In the future I will not take discussions for granted, I will ensure work is completed and logbook sign offs as required.
