Slip, reassure me you were merely talking to the FISO and not airing that wonderful machine?
Indeed I was merely talking to the FISO! I was all set to meet with others at Henstridge, but the cloudbase at Gwd was around <500' all day. I hung around to see if a short local might be on, but sadly not. That's it for 2006 it would seem.
Back to the thread ... maybe the threshold is in any case the best place to start from on a muddy runway, especially in a stol aeroplane, as most touchdowns (thumpdowns?) which damage the surface are much further down the runway!
