......or maybe the guy who was the helmsman on the USS Hornet in April of 1942 when the Doolittle raids launched off it could be of assistance?

:E:ok:

Wouldn't have a clue tin, but I bet Lord Draper has owned each type at one stage or another!

Ask here and see how you go. I doubt anyone else will help you if PR won't, but I'd be interested to see what you asked.

if it ain't already in a book, is it worth knowing?

PS: they're grey and if you flight plan then it's 1 POB (unless you own the charter/scenic flight variant - bookings can be made through the J Howard Aeroclub, Kairribilli House - then 2!)

Without seeing the question, possible answers MAY include:

1. Yes, it pulls chicks better than Michael Hutchence used to.
2. Yes, very fast, very low, very high, very loud, pulls very hard.
3. Of course I'm single, is your sister? Oh, it doesn't matter. Giggedy...
4. No, it can't outrun an F-111, but speed isn't important.
5. No, you can't have a go. :ok:

Crikey Slackie, at least you can do a Three Pointer in your mount. Or can you...;)

Please send a crate of Waikato Draught, and a recent photo of your sister, and I'll see if that helps your application.

...plus a photo of her boat.



But seriously, Ultralights wants to know:

a) where does the pilot put his nav-bag?

b) where does he hang his jacket?

c) who heats his lunch up and how does he eat it with a gas-mask on his face???

d) can you fly around on just one engine and save fuel??

e) are you all gay, too, like "Slider" and his mates??

:p

Q) where does the pilot put his nav-bag?
A) stuffed down the front of my daks

Q) where does he hang his jacket?
A) on the arrestor hook (it airs it out nicely)

Q) who heats his lunch up and how does he eat it with a gas-mask on his face???
A) why need lunch when only airborne for 50 minutes? I'm not a supplier.

Q) can you fly around on just one engine and save fuel??
A) one engine? Are you crazy? I don't pay for gas. That's only half the noise...

Q) are you all gay, too, like "Slider" and his mates??
A) Slider wasn't gay. As his boyfriend, you think I'd have noticed.

Runaway....
3 pointer? You bet I can! In fact some landings are 7, 8, and 9 pointers with a pretty little wiggle at the end!!!

Photos to follow! Sorry, wouldn't feed Waikato to my dog (if I had one), so I certainly don't think it's worth posting!!

I reckon they may be both Hillman.

the two I can see the front end on appear to be different grills for perhaps different year models or different "rated" horsepower.

I don't think the back one is a 10 rated HP Morris (circa 1940) but it could be
