Hendon, -a quarter century ago while on leave. If the world had turbo-diesels back 70 years ago, and we have them in two place cars now, even motorbikes, why not have them burning Avtur (or Power Kerosene like the old Massey Harris 44, but she was non-turbo, just had two tanks and you switched from petrol to kero after the hotbox near the carburettor warmed up) in reasonable size commuter airframes as well? Will be digging out my Mustang, Beech 18, Lockheed 10, Winjeel etc. in full cry - photos from Mangalore of '82. Know they are there somewhere...
