For all the negativity about Maurice I can categorically state that I would happily fly with Maurice..... I have flown with some very impressive pilots over the years & Maurice is " Up there with a lot of them "
He may well be unconventional, he may well be eccentric, he is certainly a GOOD HANDLING PILOT...... Look at his past flying achievements & stop looking to 'cherry pick' out the bad bits..... getting a Cub from Biggin Hill to Sydney was no mean feat. That trip is easy in a uber modern light aircraft, but not so in a 1943 Cub.
Cut the guy some slack eh ?
