    Those that have not been around as long as me and others on these forums, our mate Thomo spent some time in PNG, so I thought this may bring back a few (hopefully) happy memories for him. If you dig back through old posts, his experiences there, were a real interesting read.

    Hi Tomo. This ones for you mate, and might bring back a few memories. By the way, how did the chicken taste? Kind Rgds planey.

    That's real sad outcome for such an iconic aircraft.

    This say's it how it really is.

    , plenty of trike pilots on here to converse with.

    Don't worry Kaz, I've flown with many a female pilot who'd do a lot better than me.

    I remember looking over an HP42 at Croydon Airport as a little fellah, though I never flew in one. From where I lived you could hear them warming up the engines for ages before they took off and climbed out, normally going over our house. The majority of the flights were with DC2' & 3's and a few DH82 Dragon Rapides. In those days they flew direct London to Paris etc: I'm told that when radar and flight corridors were introduced, if an aircraft went missing, it narrowed down the area where they had to look for the broken bits. Probably not true, but that was the story going around at the time. I remember Croydon well, and as a kid when they had an open-day was talked into doing a simulated parachute jump off the top of a hangar where a tough-looking soldier controlled the brake of the fixed line after I jumped. When I got home my Dad asked me how my underpants were?

    Be thorough with your pre-flights, don't extend the envelope or your capabilities, keep the family and loved ones in the back of your mind, and fly safe. We want more posts from you.

    I arrived in Majorca after a very turbulant flight in a Britannia with a case that was split open down one side. When unpacking at the hotel, I realized all my new underwear was missing. Had a good laugh about it at the time, as we were on our honeymoon.

    Behave yourself, so you don't get unexpected surprises. Have a great time. Rgds planey

    Maybe from Phuket?

    That's a sad outcome.

    My partner reckons there ought to be an antidote available for this site, it's infectious to many like me. You get up in the middle of the night for a pee and you have to log on to see what's new. I'm not complaining, I like it that way. Thanks Ian:thumb up: Rgds planey

    That's a light load Frank. You should take a look at their trains. No goats, no chickens, no mother-in laws. Should get off the deck in no time.
  23. planedriver
    Certainly wasn't mine. But I only fly responsibly, and have never flown near a nudie beach or near people who feel inadequate. (so far)
  24. planedriver
    Impressive! Innovation is what progress is all about. Don't worry Frank, all good, otherwise it would be in another thread which we don't want to think about.
  25. planedriver
    Yea Frank, all 4 of them.
