Here's my faves.

A really great catch, G-DRAM - the first amphib 172 in Europe:

G-BWUB, the cub on floats that lives at the other end of Loch Earn:

Yours truly, contemplating playing the lottery again:

I take it from your wishful expression you weren't allowed up in any of the amphibs then?
Looks a lovely place for a break, I must talk the missus into it one year.

The people who own the cub have an amphib Husky aswell, I could've gone in that, but as I'm still way shy of a PPL I would've had to take off from a land strip, then T&G on the loch. Unfortunately money's an issue aswell -

Got drunk and fell into the river without its floats on... ;D

Nice shots TSC, G-DRAM looks very clean and well-kept.

Great shots!  I like the last one the best.  Though the sky is blown out, I think it almost helps the photo.

I think I'm in love....  ::)

I've just decided that when I do my seaplane rating, I will co it in a C172. Good score, and thanks!

;D

Fantastic. ;) We don't get to see many floatplanes in this part of the world.

Here's my faves.

Things might be looking up. This 182R (G-ESSL) was at Dunsfold on Sunday. I think it's based at Bournemouth. The owners claim that it's the first one in Europe.
