Hi Hairyplane.
Thought I'd chip in with my 20 lira worth (about £0.0000000001p in proper money)
I agree with you about how stuffy and self-righteous this forum has become. There were lots of negative comments on the breakfast patrol thread recently, obviously from those who have never tried it. Same thing is happening here.. Probably the same pilots who I regularly witness landing over halfway into a 900m grass strip, purely because they are used to landing at 1500 metres of tarmac......Wait till they have to land in a short field for real, with no engine! You only get one chance....
So come on guys and gals, live and let live, and if people want to try oddball things (not that landing an Auster in a garden is oddball), let 'em do it without receiving a slagging!
Better not tell 'em about my plans to fly an aeroplane underwater!
