Well ok....RDB = Ranald Dennis Buchanan...and she was probably the nicest Twotter to fly in my time...much lighter on the controls than any other 200 let alone the 300s...looked like a bucket of junk and leaked like a sieve in rain but a sweet old girl non the less. Definitely not a Friday aeroplane!!!
When did empty weight ever effect load carried in a Talair machine?
What Talair Otter didn't lack an autopilot?
That funky TAA electrical system was a bit different...Seems like it wasn't only Ansett that thought they knew better than the manufacturers?
