  1. I don't think you will get to see him flyerme as his tif is at Gawler not Goolwa. Alan.
  2. .....and get your Prostate Carbureter checked. Alan.
  3. Thanks for posting. A beautiful restoration. Alan.
  4. Based on Gary's years of experience if Gary says he can, then I believe he can. Alan.
  5. Climate must change then every 103 years.. Alan.
  6. Well I have noticed that 'storms in tea cups' have been increasing lately. Sorry guys, just trying to lighten things up a little. Alan.
  7. Yampy, where are you located and do you fly or have flown. Give us a few details. Alan.
  8. Yampy, if you do a google search of the Guernsey Aero Club you will see that I was a founding member so your best man may well know me. I left Guernsey for Australia in 1970. Alan Marriette.
  9. If it is pilot error and he is employed by the airline then isn't the airline responsible? Just asking. Alan.
  10. Welcome Hi Flyer. Alan.
  11. That's another story indeed is very interesting because my only flight in a Dh84 Dragon was a joy flight around Blackpool tower whilst on honeymoon back in August 1960. The things we find to do on honeymoon. Lol. Alan.
  12. That one was a DH84 Dragon not the DH89 Dragon Rapide. Alan.
  13. That's interesting information Gnarly and good to hear that you are safe and sound. Alan.
  14. Thanks for that post it certainly brought back some memories. As a young teenage aircraft spotter I have flown many times in Dragon Rapides between the Channel Islands and also spent many hours in them sitting in the cockpit in the Guernsey hangars making the appropriate engine noises with my best mate. He was the starboard engine and I was the port, we never experienced an engine failure. To this day my biggest yearning was to fly one but never gained a twin rating or the opportunity. Their all around visibility from the cockpit ahead of the engines was very good indeed. I've also flown in the larger Dragon which I didn't like as much....too noisy with a lot of vibration. Alan.
  15. Any close up photos ? Alan.
  16. Now that's really cool, a well balanced post. Alan.
  17. WOW! Alan.
  18. So I am correct. Alan.
  19. I did. 6 arches in the background, 2 in the foreground therefore one missing. Alan.
  20. Cross wind landings I have no problems with, neither turbulence, down drafts or even wake turbulence but I do have problems with smooth air, 10 knots straight down the runway and everyone watching from the clubhouse. I always seem to stuff them up. Alan.
  21. I believe his name is Archibald. Alan.
  22. Take the whinging neighbours for a ride a few times, that might fix the problem. Alan.
  23. Good to hear that you will be joining our flying fraternity as you find that it will probably be the most exciting recreation you have ever experienced. Tell us a bit about yourself and where you are located and flying from. Alan.
  24. That looks like 'bullet' damage from those other local warbirds. Alan.
  25. I bet he was squawking if he did see the jets, and I don't mean his transponder.. Alan.
