Clint.
You are truly amazing. I was at Bartow for 2 years and never knew the origin of the name. I had a whole host of clues lined up for this one.
I don't know why a UK registered Bandeirante should end it's life in Florida it was already there in 93 and was later cremated by the local fire service two miles down the road.
Over to you Mr Grubby
