Think I might have posted this one before on Today’s Pillock Forum.

The Colt at Macon last year on our way to meet up with some friends in Italy.

I can only find this one at the moment. I took this last September. Think I have one of the panel at home, but it’s not much to look at 😉 Anyway, your eyes should be outside!

Neat Colt Moggy , any other close up photos of her ?? , looks like a wee beauty .Incidentally I was browsing through a Pilot mag from 1982 and there is an article about converting the Colt to a tail dragger – I’ve forgot which issue it was but it has Stephen Grey’s Blue Bearcat on the front cover .

With the work carried out on this aircraft so far the only place for it is in the sky, however my pggy bank is empty so I can’t influence it’s ultimate fate.

My sentiments exactly Moggy , she would look great in the FAA Museum or even better with the RNHF .
