Fine ; you are back safe Fred

Yes this year there was so many others issues with Ferries !!!
At Brittany Ferries they suffer 3 times big issues with important delay on crossing !!
one of those was not able even to do 10/100 of crossing and had to be directed to Saint nazaire for big repair !!!!
Think about all these pasengers disapointed and rerouted on buses etc etc !!!
This why my visits to UK ( and the project!!) are very very rare during winter
I planned too to fly from Dinar to West midlands airport but was told yesterday that Ryan air stops their flight every year from November until April !!!

Really a pity I sold my chopper years ago !!!!;);)

For sure Michel...a pity you have no longer this nice shopper...I would join you for crossing the Channel and going there faster!
I like your chopper that it reminds me that one in a TV show I watched when I was young ...a Private investigator in Hawaï with a gorgeous 308 gts!! ;)

I can think of how 5 coffins would be arranged.
72 degrees apart.

Ha ha !
That chopper was also a kit !!!!
Very nice and powerfull ( powered by small turbine ) but consumption was HAWFULL !!
And on top of that It was quite very sensible to speed wind as it was very light ( too much ) !!!:rolleyes:
Now they are using it ( with some others "brothers production " for short trips on Alps and for heli school
buidling it was an enjoyement as well as an Stratos LB !!!!!:o

Are you finally planning to come at Stoneileight with your car ?
Normally we will be a lot of French guys Strat fans there ( some planning aldo to have their delivery on the week following the show !!)
