Its about Desmond Scott, typhoon pilot and his war….
Also wrote typhoon pilot.

Congratulations on the new addition to the family

I had a look at the frame when I was down there in April last year.
It’s great to hear that it has been removed from the car park, with all the damage that appeared to be happening to it.
Was there anything left up in the cockpit?

I think it was heli logging that brought the wessex’s and parts, Taranaki(?) based, I can recall that they were having trouble getting the approval to commercially fly them, as ex mil airframes, the CAA didn’t to be keen on them plying a trade…..

I also have some merlin no.s to email you to…must do that before I lose them.:) 😎

Not too sure if I’d fly on that one, the pilot wears face paint, has red hair and his uniform looks a bit dodgy, then there is the cabin crew……

This is sad news, especially when you think of the great collection that use to be the alpine fighter c.
I am pleased that I have many memories and photographs of it, including stephen Grey taking it for it’s second journey skyward in NZ…..
But I guess that it is an expencive pastime and unless I win lotto tonight (and a few more times) then there isn’t a lot I can do or say other than I hope it entertains people ( and australians….;-)) as much as it has done here….
