Thread drift.
Heard a story about the Beaver and Piston Provost at Bait.
In the mess, when the Beavers were new, an argument was going on about which aircraft could fly slower, so a race was flown.
At low level above the runway the two aircraft flew side by side with the Provost going slower until the two guys on the beaver pushed the doors open with their feet and flew even slower to win the race.

IIRC Bait closed in 1975 when Seeb was opened. When I arrived in 76 the runway was still there. It then became the town of Ruwi.
