Where is? Clues - Roy Goon was once the CFI and one of his students was to have his Mosquito shot down by flak following the famous raid to breach the walls of a prison at Amiens, France, (Operation Jericho) allowing prisoners awaiting execution to escape. His ex student was to survive as a POW but his navigator died in the crash.

Sqn Ldr Ian McRitchie, RAAF wounded in 26 places. His navigator who did not survive was Flt Lt R W ‘Sammy’ Sampson. When I did my electrical apprenticeship Ian’s brother was the resident electronic whiz in the office next door, unhappily I was not aware of the story at that stage.

A second guess then, Friendly Beaches?

Have to admit that if it is FB then its wider than I remember and the dead trees at the end seem to have gone.

You got it that time! It is indeed Friendly Beaches - what a beautiful part of Australia. The 172 is VH-RNJ from Freycinet Air.

You'd think I'd remember it better than that given that I used to fly the occasional scenic for Freycinet Air a few years ago.

Have to agree with you that the scenery, especially the east side of Freycinet Peninsular is spectacular.

Miraz... Freycinet Peninsula (looking East)...

Going for bonus points now...

Far Left: The Hazards with Mt Mayson in picture.

Next over: Hazards Beach and on the opposite side, Wineglass Bay.

Next to the right: Mt Graham and Mt Freycinet, then Cooks Beach...

Full marks?

I think the seat cover would probably be....

Blond and 21yo

The only red leather would be her expensive boots

Wow!
Someone with impeccable taste.
You surely got that right tinny.

Oh man, I wish I could afford them. (But I cannot.!) How much do you think they would be worth?

Having wrestled with the mighty C195 you wouldnt want buttons on the seat upholstery thats for sure
The Jag is a 1959 XK150
