    G-dram


    I photographed this Cessna FR172 at RAF Leuchars open day on Saturday and thought it would make ideal transport for Pour1Malt !
    This is a French assembled Cessna which is normally based at Glasgow Airport but is sometimes fitted with floats for scenic seaplane flights on and over Loch Lomond.

    Sadly G-DRAM was one of the casualties of the gales on Hogmanay night, when one of her tiedowns broke, causing her to be blown along the ground at Glasgow Airport by the wind, breaking a float and coming to rest on a wingtip.
    I won't copy pictures from another forum but if anyone wants to see the damage there are photos here.

    Hopefully she will be able to be repaired.

    So you are saying that a dram was spilled on New Years in Scotland?

    That doesn't seem too unusual.

    Do you know if they will be able to repair it or is it a total wreck now?
