Twin Stuck Barnbougle
 

Anyone have the goss??

Could someone please translate into simple English? :confused: :confused: :confused:

Could be a PA31 stuck ( bogged ) or a PA31 " struck " by a wayward golf ball

Was told late last night a Conquest on or near a golf course in Tassie with bent nose wheel and props. Just trying to join the dots!!!!

Bad.

Good!

Expensive, but it'll buff out. Woulda been cheaper if it was a chieftain, bloggsie.

Why is it the " good " aircraft seem to come to grief while the old Chieftains just keep ploughing along

To clarify, I certainly wasn't making light of the fact that a Conquest had pranged, only the aircraft names/type designators being made fun-of on another thread.

That is definitely out of bounds! :oh:

Bit more than a two stroke penalty there, I'm afraid!:=

Got hit by a mis-struck Golf ball when landing a Robin DR400 Glider Tug at a Gliding Club next to a Public Golf course in Hokkaido a number of years ago.:eek:

Caused a great deal of mirth in a few places!:D

Guess they won't be flying in 2 new props and some 100mph tape to fly her out!!!!! Anyone know the rego?? I remember seeing a similar paint job up north, but with 3 blades.

Recovery cost down there will be painful.

If it's on the runway, the surface looks terrible.

I don't know about "old Chieftains just ploughing along" - but that Conquest has sure been doing it's fair share of ploughing, in the last couple of hundred feet. :)

Where is the image ??:confused:

Post 6 above...

No image though - URL expired.

The new strip at Barnbougle "Lost Farm" ain't as good as the old one at BB Dunes. Last time I took a Conquest in there I could feel the nosewheel digging in here and there and C402/404/441 have a bit of a weakness in the nosewheel dept if you bog it...

But more importantly, the bar is much better at Lost Farm!

I prefer the Dunes!
