Issue Number One came out in July 1953.
In it is a piece recounting the dead-stick wheels up landing of a C47
with no ensuing damage whatever.
The article is headed - HOW GOOD CAN YOU GET?
The company Connair in the early seventies at Alice Springs once had Beech 80 Queenair
VH-CMI . The ops manager, Roger Connellan on a test flight was
unable to lower the gear. High in the circuit he feathered both. He knocked the 3 blade props round on the starters and greased the old girl onto the runway. Truly the ace of the base, he had a framed photo of his achievement sitting on his desk. (The Queenair's main wheels when retracted poke out a bit a la the C47/DC-3.)
