FlyGunz, I agree 150% with you, but I managed to read them all. The Scout, in the hands of a low time civilian PPL(H) holder should be classed as a deadly weapon. I found the beast to be difficult to fly at times, especially when we were in Monterrey, California (Heavy, Hot and High).

Why the powers to be allowed this Military workhorse to become a civilian is beyond my comprehension. You remember the problems they had with the Cabin Heat Control and the Fuel Cock being confused with each other so that fuel was getting turned off when it got cold?!?!?

Who are the pilots at Thruxton, does anyone know. I am sure that at least one or two, if they are ex-Corps, will have some Scout experience.

With regards to the EOL, you forgot the most important thing
