G-BGSD

I found this thread by chance today, excellent reading. I got interested in the Rothmans' history since I bought Pitts S-2A s/n 2195, F-BYAJ, ex G-BGSD, in 1999. To my knowledge this is the only S-2A still in the RAT colours, without the "Rothmans" letters though. Unfortunately I only have the logbooks since the plane was registered in France in 1982, so I don't know much about her adventures with the RAT.
The plane is based near Toulouse, in the Southwest of France, and we teach aeros and occasionally participate in local contests and airshows. I'd be happy to offer a ride to any ex-Rothmans pilot in exchange for some stories.


For those of you interested in the whereabouts of the planes, another ex-Rothmans S-2A, F-GIIZ, ex G-BDKS, is based in Marmande, between Toulouse and Bordeaux.
