rustle,
the thread starter flies in Australia (WA IIRC), not the UK. With +32C and humid it is possible but unlikely to have been carb ice
Thanks for that. I didn't notice that he was in Oz!!! Who's the muppet now? I like to think I'm more aware than that when I'm flying.
However, I'm pretty sure that at 32C and with high humidity you definitely can get carb icing. We had it that hot here last summer, and I certainly had some signs of it in the R22. Though of course, other reasons are possible too.
