That is a beautiful thing. Straight out of a 1940s movie.

A very great shame. This was a guy who could lift your spirits, however down you were. As has been said already, they don’t make them like him anymore, and our comedy will be the poorer for his passing. 🙁

We live in interesting times. Good news for jobs in Alabama. I have a close friend in the Mobile area, and there is some serious unemployment in that region. Good news all round I think, except possibly for the other company;)

You’re welcome Sarah. I did attempt a visit to the attic for that Propliners magazine, but being confronted by a voluminous spider, I retreated. My partner will take care of it:)

AutoStick. That’s a sad story. I have always liked the Dove. I was once lucky enough to have flown on a Heron, which belonged to an outfit called Peters Aviation. IMO, both the Dove and Heron are British classics.

Neil.

I’m sure that this accident was featured in an article, in a magazine called Propliner some years ago. I’m sure that it even carried a pic of how the house looks today, well in the early 80s anyway, as well as images of the accident itself. I think that the house concerned was renamed by the house owner as ‘Dakota’s Rest’ I’ll have to see if I can find the issue.

Maikel, I always look forward to your posts, you never disappoint:) That MD11 looks fantastic, as does the SAS 737. Thanks for posting these.

No problems so far, using either my Mac or iPad version 1.
