Snow - "Van Furen" - Goose

And so the story goes that I was heading to Colemore and on 129.825 I hear Gustie and Johnny en route too! Gustave is nailing "Suky" as hard to get there and be ready to tie down his acquisition! He is followed by Johnny in this early Microlight. An enthusiastic Gustie who I do believe and sell anything to anyone, was oozing joy at this new toy, the engineer who designed it also designed other flying bricks etc etc etc... It came from EBay and arrived via a three day expedition from the Lake district to be at Colemore traveling at 60 with a 30 knot headwind! Tied down for the night its real prize was the Blue Top 582 under that biscuit tin cowling. Given it cost circa £1500, I recon that without the engine its worth minus £250 quid ;-)) Never the less, Gustie is in love with this G - MVIL and it down wind swagger
