  2. A Barbeque for' thing a me bob' aircraft.
  3. I've just watched a recording of the program (unable to watch on the night) and it sure brought back some memories. As a young aircraft spotter I spent everyday of my school holidays at the Guernsey Airport where many Dc3' operated especially BEA aircraft who operated 32 of them. My school pal and I used to approach the air hostesses to see if we could have a look inside whilst they were on the tarmac between flights and were given the opportunity on many occasions, we just had to make sure that we didn't ask the same air hostie twice. When I became a teenager earning money I flew in Dc3's several times and later took my wife to England on honeymoon which was her first flight ever, also in a Dc3. The ones operated by BEA were quite luxurious for the time and very comfortable. BEA was of course British European Airways which later became British Airways when they went international. Alan.
  4. Brilliant. Alan.
  5. My wife and I used to rescue Australian wildlife especially kangaroos so we may be able to help with vaccinations because we know how to Jab a roo. . Alan.

  7. Loved sideslipping in every aircraft I have flown except the Tyro... it just wouldn't side slip. Alan.

  9. If that is the case, I'm not sure if you would want three passengers along for the ride. Alan.
  10. I could write ten pages on the skills required having conducted many 'Flour Bombing' raids in light aircraft. . Alan.
  11. It should be ok once the stitches have been removed. Alan.
  12. Flying anti-clockwise around Australia is recommended because left hand circuits are the norm, just keep Ayers Rock below your left wing tip and you can't go wrong. . Alan.

  14. With the variety of recreational aircraft in Australia (slow moving) many of us have been doing this for years.. Alan. PS. Not trying to be sarcastic here.
  15. You should have done the job for him and handed him your paint brush. Alan.
  16. Further to the above, when my wife was nursing several years ago she asked a trainee nurse to give one of her patients a suppository, some time later she asked the trainee if she had done so to which she replied "yes, I gave it to her with her morning coffee". True story. . Alan.
  17. I hope he never has to give a suppository to an animal. Alan.
  18. I wonder if he will really learn but claim that it was not his fault. Alan.
  19. We could use a typical English apostrophe to replace the offending letters 'a' and 'e' and create the Hang'r, problem solved ??? Alan.
  20. So the Flight Star became a Star Dropper. Alan.
  21. I've always wondered how you land on a lake.....I suppose it's the same as splashing onto land. . Alan.
  22. Hi Redsky, it's good to have a Welsh flexwing pilot on the forum, I presume that you are also a good singer. Alan.
