Fourays

While I agree with most of the Fourays article, I must cast doubt on any content I do not have personal knowlege of when I read that the T tail crashed "killing all on board". As the T tail never flew, perhaps he means the N24 prototype, which still didn't kill all on board. Ahh the internet, so much information, how much should we believe?

And how ironic would it be if the Army bought Caravans, 30-40 years after they redesigned (redesighned) the Nomad to a twin from the original concept (mock up) with single PT6 up front!

I am continually astounded by the average Australians view of the Nomad as a widowmaker from the whitewash produced by Four Corners, I have trouble believing anything I view on that show, which appears to be held in such high regard amongst the media and viewing public.
