N208ST Ce208

American registered Cessna 208 Caravan, N208ST.

This Cessna 208 Caravan usually called Redbird is a frequent visitor at a large number of Scottish airfields.

This Cessna 206, G-BAGV was the stalwart para drop aircraft between 14th May 1973 and 5th may 2002.

It now serves as to train first time parachutists on how to exit the aircraft.

The cockpit of Cessna 206 G-BAGV. Some instruments have been removed and used on other aircraft

A speaker has been installed on top of the instrument panel, to give a bit more realism.

Got withdrawal symptoms, needed something to photograph and the Redbird came to the rescue. The Ochil Hills are in the background.

Can you spot the difference?

I'll give you a clue, look at the registration.

A superb application of a registration. My thanks to "the man" for allowing me the privilege of taking this photo on the day the new marks were applied. 18Feb05

N208B Ce208

It is not all that often I get the chance to photograph this aircraft with the engine running, lovely noise from the PT6 turbine, especially so when it reverberates off the trees at Strathallan.
