BastOn & I were in the 1964 Farnborough show followed immediately by Biggin Hill.........great fun! Ask BastOn what he thought of the Triumph Tina scooters lent to the squadron for personal transport! Mike S bought one, took it on board Albion & roared around Labuan on it. For some strange reason the Labuan Hotel complained there were tyre marks on their dance floor which I think was on the 6th floor!!
I can't believe all the complaints about the Mk7. In 847 we regularly flew with 6-8 grunts in the back at Predannack while in training & in Borneo I took 8-9 Malaysian Rangers without any power problems. BastOn, John I'm a welsh shepherd H & I did a short pinger course at Portland & the only power problem was when my inlet manifold cracked! Winching was never a problem, so I don't know where all the bad press is coming from.
