'Yowie" STP was a Sneca 11, am sure of that but am willing to be corrected, old age explains a lot
Also remember landing at Peterborough with the fence still up? MM had to pay for it to be taken down for ldg, many a time I would arive & the fence was still up!!! not too sure of the LDA but uphill was just ok down hill was real man stuff, still the old Doves stalled @ around 60 kts, no such thing as 1.3 vs with those old girls
Learnt heaps way back then, not too sure if such 'exoeriences' are still out there.

RIP the old duck runs, & the old EN 26 twin loc, dreamed it up 'cause MM's Doves only had stick on ILS's cut straight from an aviation mag, top line stuff of course
