ARA 1400

Postby Vitalstatistix » Fri Sep 16, 2011 6:23 pm

Going through some photos I found this among my collection I found this O.305. Checking the rego was a challenge considering the state of it, but allas it is ARA 1400. Couldn't believe that this Merc was 34 years old when I took the photo back in 2009. :shock: :D

Unfortunately no.
My remark was intended as a humorous one, and Mercman will know what I'm implying.
Such a shame that I seem to have got a rather scathing reply......
