Some interesting "not so accurate observations made on this forum", particularly about the Unionair Queenairs (FWG & RUU) and operations with the army.

Fact 1. Army pilots did fly the aircraft as PIC without Unionair pilots

Fact 2, These two aircraft in PNG operations struggled to get above about 18000 at the weights they were operated at.

Fact 3. Helmets were not worn by Army pilots whilst flying these aircraft and the oxy system was a constant flow system fitted by Unionair

For those who really know the aircraft, how about starting the engines if a light breeze decide to waft up behind you during the start??
