I remember one particular day "somewhere in Northern Australyia", where I sprung a pilot putting two six by four planks on the refuelling pad and then landing his '47 with the front of the skids on the planks.
In response to the question, 'what gives Foot?'
The drawled and rather slow response was, "Waalll I'm flyin' to Queensland and seein' as how it's such a long way, I thort I'd fill 'er up with the hungy boards."
Yep, Queensland was (is) indeed a long ways back, so no further questions were issued. I believe the culprit is now somewhere in Sydney, perhaps having found the, 'far side'.??
