or Wizz in his Jag from no8 tried to take the roof off the FAC's Land Rover,as his skid marks proved!!
that's pretty novel . .. . almost as novel as the bloke in remote northern Western Australia who found his wife had run off with a station hand. He leaped in his C182 to give chase. Ten miles away he just made out a plume of dust.
It was his target no mistake. He came in low low and fast . Then right on top of the ute he gave the nose wheel a quick bang on the cab of the ute. This resulted in the whole nose-wheel and strut parting company with the Cessna, falling back into the tray of the ute. The terrified occupants fearing for their lives found a few trees to park under for a while till hubby got sick of hanging around . . probably wanting to get back home for his shot gun. Landing, luck of the draw, he did not do a lot of extra damage .. but meanwhile the other two drove into Wittenoom to the police station. When the case went to court the accused entered no plea on the charge of reckless flying .. . despite the fact that a part of his plane was EXHIBIT 'A'. The beak fined him 500 pounds and the DCA was happy to take his licence off him for two years.
Whether his action saved the marriage or not you have to do a time warp back to the Fortescue Hotel in Wittenoom and look for Nev Maguire the Mobil agent who first told me the story.
how we can digress. .
