Back in about 2002-ish, one of Scotias L2's (i think G-PUMO), was to be used by a Brazilian company for some work there. For reasons that i can't remember now, it had to be registered as a Canadian aircraft, so 3 extremely lucky guys got to meet it out in eastern Canada (after the L2 had been shipped from Liverpool to Canada), do some air testing in Canada, before flying it down the eastern side of the American continent to Brazil. I'm friends with the engineer who went with them, and he kept a video diary for his daughter to see when he got back. All i can say is i'm normally not the jealous type, but having seen his video...........if only it had been me going as one of the ferry pilots! If i remember correctly i think they seem to have had been carrying a couple of snags that had to get fixed along the way, and the Caribbean Islands seemed a good place to have a few days to make these "essential" repairs!
