Lovely aircraft to fly, dog slow, freezing cold with a great view!! I can remember doing no end of trips with nothing but a map and a jerry can of fuel in the right seat!!!
Happy memories!!!
Was that Paul Dewhurst's school?
As I said, the AX is a great 'fun' aircraft and you need to 'fly' it all the time keeping an eye on the slip indicator. It was great for flying cadets and 'demonstrating' the effects of controls; I was quite happy flying air experience in vis down to about 4,000m due to it's low speed characteristics; I would never even consider that in anything faster.
