    Sir William Roberts , established a pioneering collection at Strathallan – and a lot of these aeroplanes are still flying thanks to his foresight.

    [B]I know of at least three keen GA flyers who have taken their offspring on first flights withing three months of birth.

    Did they come back with them , or did they have to jettison some weight in a mid flight crisis – must have been tempting .:)

    Lambo still build tractors , and they are a damn sight better built that their cars – the cars tickover lumpy as hell and are tacky looking things , the build quality is suspect too – the clutches are super easy to destroy and their replacement parts dont always fit . Their tractors are big , powerful well constructed monsters – unfortunately they are expensive , but hey – you get what you pay for . 😀

    Melvin , your engine looks superb – almost a bloody shame to hide it behind a cowling . Are you doing all the electrical work yourself too ??.
    Is there a book covering the restoration in the pipeline ??

    I was just about to ask if you had any photos of the 916 too ?? , basically a standard 916 with some trick bits , a paddock stand and a cover which they charged a fortune for as it was supposedly a Limited Edition – until they released the Second Edition. I hammered the guts out of a Series 1 until the fancy carbonfibre airbox started breaking up and it started sounding like an athsmatic Transit – Ducati Warranty ?? , not worth the paper it is written on – wrapped it up in silver duct tape and sold it . Sorry – Rant Over !!!!
