G-dram
I photographed this Cessna FR172 at RAF Leuchars open day on Saturday and thought it would make ideal transport for Pour1Malt !
This is a French assembled Cessna which is normally based at Glasgow Airport but is sometimes fitted with floats for scenic seaplane flights on and over Loch Lomond.

Do thos Kansas boys know that somebody in France is making their airplanes. I never knew they had a European manufacturig plant. Now I know. O'Neille
Cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once. Of all the wonders I yet have heard, it seems to me most strange that men should fear; seeing that death, a necessary end, will come when it will come. --William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar

Sadly G-DRAM was one of the casualties of the gales on Hogmanay night, when one of her tiedowns broke, causing her to be blown along the ground at Glasgow Airport by the wind, breaking a float and coming to rest on a wingtip.
I won't copy pictures from another forum but if anyone wants to see the damage there are photos here.

Hopefully she will be able to be repaired.

So you are saying that a dram was spilled on New Years in Scotland?
That doesn't seem too unusual.

Do you know if they will be able to repair it or is it a total wreck now?

I took a look at the link and the graphic on the side of G-DRAM on the other forum was a different style and colour than that of the one shown above. Perhaps P1M's plane is fine ater all.

Well I don't know a lot about planes, but the one that was wrecked appears to be a seaplane of some kind, and painted differently as has been noted. Perhaps there are 2?

In the original post, C152T indicated that it is sometimes fitted with floats for scenic seaplane flights on and over Loch Lomond.
