Back in '58 when I started flying lessons, I was working at Schutts who did the maintenance on the 180 and the Messenger ( AVQ I think ). Never saw him flying the 180 only the Messenger. General consensus was that the 180 was to hot for him.

Their radio procedures were a hoot. More like a phone conversation using the callsigns " Dick" and "Mae" when talking to each other.

Seem to recall that Berwick was a private airfield and that if one did not have business there then one was supposed to get permission to land.

Only went in there once in a club chippy to enquire about doing some gliding.
