Mad Dog etc
When I was on Londolovit I was a passenger with "Mad Dog MCGrew" a Canadian and a great Poker player. When he left with wife Val he disposed of the belongings by tossing a coin for double or nothing. We started an engine on his 'Baron' with jumper leads from my Toyota Landcruiser. The senior pilot of those times was Ren Fenimore. Dave Mulford came in on his first flight with McGrew and had to ground loop at the end of Londolovit grass strip.
Alan Barham was another. I saw him come up the strip aquaplaning all the way!! He returned to NZ and was a crop duster.
With the gold mine, Londolovit has totally changed from the seventies.
Best Wishes. Larry
