    Thanks everyone I have learned a great deal from these post....very uplifting indeed. Alan.

    I learned to fly in an Auster and found no problems with heel brakes (didn't know any different) except being drum brakes, a strong cross wind when taxiing would cause brake fade and sometimes necessitate a 360 ground loop and pick up direction again the next time around. Strong cross winds on Guernsey were common so the tower controllers became used to this scenario. Alan.

    You're all wrong, it was a very short pilot wanting a better view over the nose. Alan.

    Unless they are Japanese. Several years ago at the world gliding championships at Waikerie, South Australia on a very hot day a Japanese pilot did an outlanding in scrub country and landed near some grazing kangaroos: not knowing whether they would attack him or not, he remained in his glider with the canopy down until rescued. He didn't look very cool when the ground crew arrived. . Alan.

    We all know that the prop is just a fan to keep the pilot cool.....just see how hot he gets if it stops. Alan.

    Sounds a good idea to me, so if you didn't fit the measurements for carry on passenger requirements, you would have to travel in the hold. Hang on a minute, your ' baggage' weight could cost you more than your airfare.. Alan.

    Hi Gareth and Craig if I lived up your way I would be trying to muster a group of willing people with building experience to help you put that beautiful aircraft back in the air again. We need that aircraft gracing our skies. Alan Marriette.

    All of the above or pay somebody to fix it and sell for $50,000. Alan.

    If it's not in the media, it never happened. Alan.

    Looking forward to seeing the performance of a Morgan with a Viking fitted 'Honda' nose. . Alan.

    Welcome Tim it is good to see you back flying after 30 years, you were delivered by Father Christmas, weren't you ? Alan.

    I've got one, her name is Jacqueline....she has been very reliable and never let me down in 54 years. Alan.

    At least nobody can say that there is no rhyme nor reason for this. . Alan.

    Should be out on the apron giving joy rides. Alan.

    Better to survive five crashes in a Jab than die once in another aircraft???? . Alan.

    There's also a silly old moo who was deported from the Guernsey Aero Club back in 1970. Welcome to the site. Alan Marriette.

    You had me in stitches with that one FT. Alan.

    In Guernsey where I come from, we always reffered to baked beans as ' musical fruit ' Alan.
