Ah, but will it be at legends?

No G-SNTA will not be appearing at legends. The Fighter collection had great difficulty contacting the owner when when they finaly did he refused to make an apearance due to the time of year.:D

There are some things that bring tears to the eyes:

Witnessing a Spitfire close the Biggin Hill Air Fair to the sound of the last post

The pungent aroma of Rudolph when he is being readied for flight :diablo:

I can just imagine there being a draw somewhere in the caa offices labelled ‘not very important applications – look at when you get a chance’:D

It will be flying on a Lapland Experimental Certification… So it does not need UK Certification

I’m not sure if it’s “green” enough.
There are bound to be some nasty emissions. And you thought birds were bad.

Clearly this is just a reproduction of the sleigh made from the original drawings by S.S.Werks(Santa Sleigh Werks) in the USA, there is clearly no provenance trail so it doesn’t interest me.

Mark – In all fairness you have been around a little longer than most of us here ! You probably remember the dark ages before people had realised there could be such a thing!
