The mighty Riley DH114 Heron, ergonomic nightmare in the cockpit especially for the first officer but heaps of fun and in some cases hard bloody hard work.

Double King Island through the guts of a cold front on a winters day, load and unload a thousand kilos of freight and baggage, refuelling at King Island in pouring rain and roaring gale force wind, passenger brief's etc.
Survived all that with no GPS, no autopilot, no ASIC card, no mobile phone and no reflective safety vest!
