An old topic that I bring back to the top.
“David, the aeroplane is at least a year from completion.The wings should be delivered in the next few weeks; engine is completed and John Hart and the team are working on the airframe currently.
In hindsight, the programme was optimistic – the same team operate the Mk 19. Contact me again in, say, 6 month’s time for an update.”
Anybody have any news about the completion ?

This haunting photograph, which graced every Caribou briefing room, was a grim reminder that the Viet Cong and the NVA were not the only problem for pilots in Vietnam. This incident occurred in August of 1967 when the Caribou (tail number 62-4161) flew into the line of fire of a 155mm howitzer.

Sorry my “ignorance” but what exactly happen to F-BEEA ?
Thanks very much Mark & Old Git !
Anyone knows if South Africa had some Spitfire in the SAAF !?
After how long without posting do you become inactive!?
Also, if I´m only lurking for a while without any post does this put me in the “inactive” bowl ?
Just curious.

Regarding what we can found in this site it seems that you are right with 14 operational B-17.

I can’t see a scenario that someone flying a non-aerobatic cabin a/c would be expected to or would normally wear a helmet.
You don´t need an aerobatic A/C to wear a helmet.
Aerial working at low level come in my mind:
Firefighting, crop dusting (well almost non aerobatic), choppers etc…
As for low level geophysical survey flying in fixed wings, helmets can be mandatory. Not by law but by contract specifications.

Ok! I´ll make a try with the picture (not sure if this will work)
Me, 1992 first flying job (C-182 meat bomber)
