I had a chat with a Dog Driver whilst there... very nice airplane...imported from some African air force, don't recall which.
The wheels and discs were bigger and he confirmed that the brakes on the Dog were better than the Pup... perhaps you can see how poor the Pup brakes are.
Saw a Stearman arrive whilst having my lunch,
he landed uphill towards the haystack.
Had a go in a Stearman years ago... good fun.
Farmers make a habit of stacking bales on the remaining concrete of previously longer military runways and I suppose that we have just got to put up with it and be ready for wind shear and the like.
Will get down for a visit soon, often go to Rochester and Shoreham to visit friends so I can call in.
Definitely grounded next week, having the bolt holes on the wheels re-bored... gone egg shaped or something.
