Hi Quilmes,
I've been flying from Marcq (LFQO) for now 22 years, and plan to use the A/C to commute between Marcq and Cherbourg (LFRC), where I work. My travel time would then drop from five to one and half hours, and I would not be subject to speeding tickets and the " points hunt", typical French game with drivers vs police forces...
Many thanks for the newspaper extract, unfortunately, i'm not able to download for free. Do you already have a copy???
For information, according to the President of the Aeroclub de la Somme, the guy was fed and housed six months by French prisons and released... Small price for the offence. It seems his wife has left, priceless punishment.
Thanks for the phone number, I prefer to use French speaking supportive ears at my pub!!!
If you have any piece of information regarding I.C. Whyte, I would be very glad to hearing from him. He still must have all the documentation of the A/C, it would be very helpful for me to recover it.
Two pics of the cyl heads:
Cheers,
Bertrand
