I recall that event 'pilotett'.Crazy that's for sure!!
Would liked to have flown an R model only flew it's older cousin, the Q, the very first one actually without the Omni rear window:-).Ex Hazzo's ship, went like stink!:-)
Whilst we are drifting here
there was an AC50 that was stolen from TW I think some years ago & it flew into the hills around Coonabarabran (hope that spelling is close)as it was stolen & was used as a tool to commit suicide I believe.
