Desert Flower, didn't you like the drone of the chieftain as it headed north every weekend as well? I enjoyed having a cuppa tea and biscuit in your donga after refuelling.
Lol, that's when it did depart north & not break down somewhere! Mind you, the Aerocommander had its share of breakdowns over the years too. Nostalgia for sure!
DF.
P.S. The "donga" now sits in my yard alongside the house. Still has all the memorabilia attached to the walls & hanging from the ceiling!
