Damien, my editor may be interested in your photos. The photographer was visiting Mr Walls. I think you may know my e-mail address. Can you send a slightly larger sample copy through?
Why though did it get relatively little publicity in the media?
Large grass and unpretentious airfield. Run by ditto.
I’ll try and remember! No doubt Mark A will remind me 🙂
AIUI a lot of police pilots flew them the wrong side of the stall after which the still intact airframes were grounded. Can anyone clarify this?
AIUI NAC Oxford are now not the vendor and the GA8 is at Cranfield.
GA8 reviews may also appear in other GA magazines Steve! :rolleyes: :p 😀
Aha I see now.
Loquacious was spot on.
Guys, what HP says is so true for old wooden aeroplanes. Nearly two years ago I had a share in a Jodel which caught fire. The local fire brigade took 8 minutes to arrive. 90% destroyed.

Leg Ends
Sherlowe fly-in (Sat)
Rufus Heald, formerly of the RAF, is 80
I don’t believe you lot are falling for this line – again! :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
I reckon that somebody of average ability and with zero tailwheel experience would be ready for solo in the Magister – in ideal weather conditions and with good instruction – within ‘several’ hours only.
Unlike a Maule with its high power:weight airframe! I reckon I could fly the blinkin’ Lizzie when I’m done (soon) :p
If I ever got the opportunity to fly Maggie solo, I think I’d wet myself with glee. Wouldn’t be a good thing to do with all that wood around 😮 😮 😮 😀
Reasonably so. IIRC the Zenair 701 does and perhaps Wilga.
The Lysander had them too 🙂
Excellent plan!

Thirded!
Leicester just increased to £1.15/litre.
