Postby Molerat » Thu Aug 16, 2012 12:31 am

This week 2 moths have been wrecked in seperate crashes. Luckily the pilots escaped virtually unscathed.

Was watching the latter one flying around Covesea lighthouse as I was driving home about 10 minutes before the crash. It was a common sight regularly flying over Elgin, will miss the unmistakeable sound in amongst the roar of RB199s.
