We had to get permission from the Russian Air attache for the psuedo-military paint scheme which was gracefully given. In fact he was so helpful we named the aircraft after his daughter and had this lettered on the fuselage.

On our first flying day he was invited to drink some champagne with us, and bring his daughter with him.

Somehow the name Tatiana conjured up a more ‘Bolshoi Ballet’ and elegant lady than the Doc Marten wearing teenager who turned up.

Mogster , why were you looking at her feet ???, the best bits are up North from there , what did she look like North of the Border ? 😀

These bring back many happy memories Der , I think our paths must have crossed several times , I can’t credit the photos I sent you , my PC died a month age and I have lost ALL of my photos , drawings and plans – and yes I have started archiving stuff now.
Any more general Strathallan photos ??? , especially looking for the Avenger in Dutch Navy colour scheme ( with the radome ).

I have a Jeep CJ-5 that’s in need of restoration, has rust in the body panels, leaks oil from it’s straight 6 engine (half of a V-12?), but it’s never failed to get me back from a 4 wheeling trip and would be a worthy candidate for restoration, and is named after a plane….’Ridge Runner’, after Dan Martin’s Mustang in California (could’nt find an appropriate nickname from a Corsair out there)…

Let me know what you’d charge….

Sounds like restoration would kill the Jeeps character !! , things get too noisey ?? turn up the radio , oil leaks only show that her heart is still pumping !!:) Any photos ??

I’ll take that as a compliment !!! 😉

Some place just outside Paris , DazDaMan has the exact location , I’m the nominated driver ‘cos he doesn’t have a driving licence and were going in a cruddy old Transit van . I think Ren is coming along too – hopefully to do a video diary.

Thanks Snapper !! , that is damn good of you , I can drop it back in when Daz and I are coming back over from France ( I’ll be looking for some navigation hints just shortly !!! )
