Perhaps those lucky enough to own a DHC1 should accept the foibles of the engine, keep a good supply a rags handy, a short length of 4 X 2 in the after cockpit to thump the starboard mag impulse mechanism when gooed up with cold oil and just continue to enjoy a thoroughly delightful aeroplane. How I envy you . . .
That's my sentiment exactly. The old lady isn't perfect by a country mile (oily, noisy, no cockpit heat, no luggage space, short duration, underpowered, expensive to maintain). But crikey. What an aeroplane!
