Found the old owner just by chance through an advert on the bay and got the info i needed.
What are the chances of spotting it in an advert for a different radio it's in the picture.

Never noticed where he was from.
I have a m8 that's always buying/selling radio gear and he gave me a shout last week saying he had a radio i might be interested in.
The cobra is in good condition and now looks better to me anyway.
