geez I loved those bous.
a wonderfully designed and purpose built aircraft.Cannot believe they are still flying now.Ugly, slow and avionically unsophisticated.Bit like me really.

Spent many hours flying around in the back or standing up between the drivers.That was a hoot doing a stol landing.
First pan, first prop failure in flt (damn thing didnt unfeather during test) first emegency landing, first stall (setting up the stall computers).
Such fun it was.Thanks for the memories.

still have a bottle or 2 of their 21st anniversary wines stashed away somewhere as a keepsake.
