Stores...AT6s
Hi Cliff,
Thanks for the snippet about the Stores process - amazing how the military can on occasion make good use of precedent - I read once that the German army of WWI could load a train quicker than any other army because they had taken the trouble to watch how Barnum and Bailey's circus had done it on a pre-war trip to Germany.
If I were rich I would buy an AT6 / Harvard as I have been lucky enough to have a couple of trips. One was in Canada where I was treated to an aeros session. The second was at Biggin when some ex-Portuguese machines passed through. That one was memorable as I had front seat and had mugged up the whole of the pilot's notes for the Harvard 2B. So, when I found that it was an export model, and the starter PEDAL was hidden behind the control column, and the instruments were marked up in KiloNapoleons per cubic Bismarck it was a bit of a shock. Nice flight though, it handled like a big Chipmunk.
Yes, lottery win please...
