Haven't checked in for a while, but really good to see this fascinating thread still soldiers on.
My money is on MREYNE, A Duke without a doubt; after nearly 35 years, the sheer terror of flying one in and around Western Australia still brings me out in a cold sweat. Fabulous aeroplane at say 17000', just beginning to enjoy a little nibble of decent wind behind the tail. Getting it off the ground at Newman, Mt Tom Price, Paraburdoo in 40 plus centigrade was another matter. Lord knows how one managed it. Great aeroplane for short legs in the US for a man and his briefcase, but heavy, with lots of fuel in the bush in WA - character forming comes to mind.
Best wishes to one and all,
BSD.
