Must be a story or two that you could tell us about the Bristol Freighter day’s in the UK.
CLX,
Yes, P2 only, as a PPL was limited to 12,500lb.for P1/P1u/s.
Greatest icemaker I have come across, and the auto-feather system was a bleeding good reason to have an extra "appropriately trained" pair of hands.
Plenty of "real" instrument time, practice counts.
But, as a very young PPL, any flying was good, but with accumulated experience, I wouldn't no even walk under some I flew, in case they fell on me.
Tootle pip!!
