Off track, but you probably heard about the large rainfall in NSW on the weekend
Back around 1957 floods hit the area and Uranquinty aerodrome was flooded for two weeks. We were forced to operate Wirraways from the tarmac next to the hangars and also landing and taking off depending on wind, on the narrow taxiway which separated both parts of the aerodrome. No solo flying allowed with instructor only landings.
This was quite dicey stuff as the Wirraway could really get going if you lost control after touch down. All the airmen like ghouls would come out of the hangars to watch each Wirra land waiting for the fun to start then run for cover if the Wirra headed in their direction. All these were landings from the back seat of the Wirraway which had less view than a Mustang. The taxi way between the fields had a 30 degree kink and on take off and landing the instructor had to carefully rudder around the kink. Interesting times.
