Likewise the A mod C402's; all scrap.
Of the four different Chieftains I flew later;
AFAIK, three have since been written off!
With a few exceptions, somewhat 'offpissing' methinks.
That's interesting I quite liked the old A model 402's. You didn't ever fly a 402A P2-GKF did you? I flew it in Australia as END and she creaked and rattled and always felt like she was just lots of parts in tight formation but I loved flying her. Agree completely about the Bongos.
