The Nord is G-BSMD. Sadly it’s been stranded at Scone for a few years now. However, I’ve been tasked with fixing it up. The engine is off for overhaul (Broken crankshaft). While that’s being done I’ll get on with the airframe which has been sadly neglected over the years, even on C of A.

MM, any connection with G-AFOZ from Strathallan days and do you remember one of our Scone 150’s landing in the snow on Monzie Hill after the carb iced up.

Thought that might be the Nord. I remember seeing it at one of the Perth air shows a few years back (2006 or 07?). A beautiful plane – good to know it will be gracing the skies again one day.
I’ve no actual connection with G-AFOZ but it was one of my favourite aircraft there and it was a very sad day when she crashed at Edinburgh. Surprisingly I never got a decent photo of her at Strathallan – only a couple of grainy shots through the fence. I notice there is presently a slide for sale on Ebay –

I do remember an incident with a Cessna 150 force-landing but cannot remember the details. Any idea which month and year? I might be able to find something about it in the local paper of the time.
