Great flight and narrative Martyn! Well done! :). You don't see a Piaggio here very often. I thought that they made scooters! ;)

Thank you Pau and you are quite right about the scooters although the aviation side of Piaggio went it's own way in 1964.:)

Ah, a total green post today! That looks good, even though you confused me leaving Tassie so early!

Cheers Gerold, apologies about skipping from Tassie but as General McDonald said, "it will return!":huh:
