Basically something for every occasion:D

There is also a 1955 Piper Apache being advertised at the moment for £15k, which seems criminally cheap for a lovely looking aircraft, but the running costs just preclude it from being a worthwhile undertaking. (Aztecs start from about £30k as well)
You have to get your twin rating, your engine & prop maintenance is double, all your landing fees are double, the short-field/strip performance may not be brilliant and you can get some fairly basic/cheap singles that will out lift/perform them:(

Good one MD!:D

Must take a look at that book, My Grandfather transferred from the Paras into Raiding Forces (SAS & LRDG) late in 1941 and spent some time working behind enemy lines;)
Unfortunately his War diary stops when he transfers

I used to be in the luxurious position of just going over to the Ops room and selecting the maps I needed for that day’s sortie. I would cut and glue them to the right shape (with diversions obviously) fastidiously apply all notams and amendments followed by expert fablon-ing to give them a bit of strength/water resistance when you had the door open.

Of course you’d do all that and march proudly back to the squadron only to be told that plans had been changed……..:mad:

Is this the one with the Nose from one of the Bruntingthorpe ex-RAe ones?

They really need to get this simulator checked out, it seems to keep getting annoying failures at the most inopportune times:eek: 😉 😀

Keep up the good work!
