Looks nice and solid Mike. Looking forward to warmer less wind days - we got a warning for high winds out for the next few days... Best to stay tucked up and warm.
The previous owner named the plane 'Victor Meldrew' as it was so old and in a poor state. However when I spoke to him he seemed very enthusiastic about the plane and related one flight when the throttle link failed and the plane flew on for some while before the engine cut contolled by a number of pilots in turn. I believe Broken Wing holds the record for a Weston Cougar flight of half an hour?
U the rescue king looking good :)
