HP Herald, taking of on a seriously rainy day. After a while I felt sure I caught a glimpse of water in my horizon. Yep, there it is again. The vaguum system was hauling air in via an old penny sized wire gauze filter. Air and rain.
Believing my eyes was the first thing, especially when it started to foam. They'd just shampoo'd the aircraft.
The heavy brass giro, with its sculpted edges suddenly bit into the high water. It toppled in a crescendo of foam.
