I don't agree with your theory on underwing ice on the DC-3 at Hobart Centaurus, normally Hobart wouldn't get that cold for ice to form
Charlie Lima Xray. It was certainly not my theory. It was from a quoted interview conducted on the captain by Greg Banfield. My eyebrows were raised (like yours, no doubt
) when I read the record of interview since I had never heard of underwing ice in a DC3 which is normally caused by very cold fuel in jet aircraft either during a long flight or sometimes by the temperature of fuel from a tanker or above ground source.
Search of various files dealing with that particular incident revealed nothing that suggested a loading problem. If it had turned out to be a loading problem, I would have thought the interview with the former captain would have revealed that.
