A shopping trip to Glenrothes
A mercy dash to the supermarket in Glenrothes to replenish my Irn-Bru* supply with a stop off at Glenrothes Airport on the way.
There was not much doing except for a corporate do with what looked like a treasure trail, hired Mini Coopers and a jolly in an R44. Apart from that a brief minor exodus of the Tayside fleet from Dundee and quick return before the next weather front arrived.
I missed a chance for a photograph of the R44 as it side slipped into its parking place outside the hangar however I got my chance when I was asked by the pilot to help put it inside the hangar. (The R22 is a whole lot lighter than the R44 that's for sure.)
* For anyone not in the know, Irn-Bru, is an amber coloured soft drink, reputedly made in Scotland from girders and is the mainstay of Scottish culture since forever.
It is a fact that only in Scotland does Irn-Bru out sell Coke, no other country in the world can make that boast.... Scotland can also boast to having some of the best centers of excellence for the treatment of heat attacks, obesity and dental work. ;)
A homage to Irn-Bru can be found here http://www.gairney.plus.com/Misc/Irn_Bru.htm
and the definitive version can be found here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irn-Bru
and most certainly here http://irn-bru.co.uk/
