Of course I can land in your front garden
A bit of protracted, friendly banter yesterday culminated in a STOL demonstration by a good mate of mine.
He decided to pay me a visit and landed his Auster in my front garden. Nicely done - I never got around to trying it in the Messenger (never had the bottle or the skills more like...)
We are now hoping for a good frost as opposed to the 2 months that it will probably take to dry out sufficiently for him to get it out again!
I reckon my place will be a major turning point now - I can just imagine the double-takes from the local club fliers. How the @u@k did that get there??
Er - no - don't try to extract the details from me - I would only confess under torture or 'the influence'.
We need more characters like this in aviation - hurrah!
