Wipers

'S' ... Wipers? ... I really concur. When we first acquired G-TALY I hadn't ever used wipers on the very curved Bell JR sceeen. I recall so well, when flying her on an early morning run, (probably to the BH Grand Prix of that year) I decided to try them to clear the dust off the screen ... big mistake. All the wipers managed was to leave a full width 'smear' such that heading east into sun I virtually lost all forward vision. I had to land on route to clear the screen. Thereafter, like the Colonel, their use was very much verboten, but the fare paying passengers seemed to like the idea! Regards. Dennis Kenyon.
