Also remember the day flying a T21 back to the hangar late in the day,
we used to pretty much fly them right onto the tarmac in from of the hangar
and when I got close some wind shear dropped my port wing and I hit one of the
bad ground markers,I had the stick right over and the wing wouldn't lift.
BQ came in behind and did exactly the same thing,so we had 2 T21's out of commision. We filed it with White Waltham and they thought it was only one accident as they
were exactly the same write up.
I remember talking to Jacko on the phone explaining what happened for the longest time,
he didn't believe that it was wind shear off the side of the hangar.Fun times.
