I have plenty more photos of her at Strathallan taken while she was being repainted , these came courtesy of Der Fleming , they are currently stored on my works PC and I will post more after I return to work.

Colin McRae – uses the same motorcycle dealer that I do .
Dario Franchitti ( US Champ Car Driver ) and David Coulthard – both were regulars at Larkhall kart club , I still see Dario’s dad around .
Also a very sad claim to fame , the chap who kidnapped Ronnie Biggs twice from Rio , a certain John Millar McKillop , is my dad’s cousin.

Thanks David, another confirmation. What was the exact story? Were there 11 in India and did WOGB obtained 6 of them, or did they obtain them all? In that case, why were there only 6 exported, and why did the remaining 5 stayed in India and were possible destroyed (and where are those 6 now). Another mystery, when they were destroyed, why in hell should somebody do that?

Talking about India, how is the situation on that ME-109? Is it “underway” , is in inpounded or is it just “gone”?

BW Roger

The Indian Me109 is definately NOT in India any longer !!! , that is definate !! , she is headed for these shores , when ?? , I don’t know.

More GREAT photos !! , I’m getting jealous of all the good photographer on this Forum , I bought some decent kit but I just don’t have an eye for a good photo , maybe one day I’ll get a shot worthy of posting !!

Why is it that only interesting rock stars choke on their own vomit ??, why could Gareth Gates or Wull Young not choke on their own vomit for a change??.
Today , I have mostly been eating peas , so I can attempt igniting my own farts tonight .
Steve , you have brought back many memories of school discos – McEwans Pale Ale , either in green or reddy coloured cans , many nights of the technicolour yawning sensation.

Ahhh Tennants 70″ or 80″ both my favourites , in fact I’m off for a day out to the pub right now , probably be back soon gibbering like a maniac ( so what’s new ??)
