I have refrained from comment on this post because anything I say is invariably "sent to Coventry" by the closet rabble that are let out like baying dogs and seemingly encouraged by some of the moderators.
Be this as it may, I cannot let the comments by Chimbu Chuckles go unanswered regarding the Lord V35B incident at TOC.
Bill was my instructor at RAC also and introduced me to taildraggers in a 210 HP Chipmunk.
I believe it is he you are talking about.
The fact of the matter was, that the V35 took off on RW 27 and turned left into the Blanik which was in the circuit at the time.
Seems that the Beechcraft was climbing and the blanik, in the circuit was hardly in a position to come from behind and above.
The pilot of the Blanik is still around and I've met him to tell the story.
Sixteen odd years was it, perhaps things get mixed up in time, but the irony was, I met before and after both blokes.
Give someone at TOC a ring and you may get the full story.
Ax.
