Not brilliant pics, only had an “instamatic” in those days. If I remember rightly they were taken at a very wet Yeovilton Air Day and nothing flew.

One of my hero’s, excellent guitarist and I am glad I saw him last year (and he’s forgiven for being late……well worth the wait).

Well he obviously has NOT got a career in politics has he…….;)

I remember

Remember this crash well as I was sat at Hurn Airport awaiting his arrival as he was due in to clear customs. At the time he was one of my hero’s and I had never seen a casa 2-111 before. The op’s chappie came out late afternoon to say his arrival was cancelled as the plane had crashed and the crew had been killed, and I was devastated. It was a bad year for Aviation personalities with Neil, Doug Bianchi and later, Ormond Haydon Baillie all going within a year or two, and if I remember rightly, Neil Williams had not been married very long and his wife was with him on that fateful day.(what I was told at the time)……….A very bad time, but all these people had an influence on my life. So thank you guy’s..

Excellent, perhaps I may actually get to watch them this time. Thanks for the prior notice.

Honduras (again)

First picture shows the hulk of Cessna 02A (believed to be 684) on the dump at Toncontin. The military also have Cessna 172Ks YN-BYH and YN-BYQ (second picture) stored in a hangar and obviously WFU. But dont know if these are for spares or eventual rebuild. Think the local bird life use them for bombing practice

The Honduras Cessna’s are 185Fs, 122 (the camo one, first noted in April 82) is still active while the other 123 is WFU.
