Great pix there 'exaviator'

'PA39' as 'JT' mentioned it was 'Rudgy' (Ted) who parked a dove in someone's back/front yard out of EN late one arvo. I recall this very well as I was flying a dove (not his types) on the same night taking off the same rwy @ EN. I got dozens of Ph Calls on my Mob Ph that arvo when I landed after he went in as my family thought it was me, scared the hell out of my mum that day.
Would loved to have flown a Heron, 4 piston engines & props, that's becoming a rarity these days.

Just as an off shoot here I noticed a Dove looking rather sad up at YBMK the other day parked east of the main rwy. Looked like an ex RAF machine, anyone know of it's history? Forkie you get around a bit you must know
