recflyer Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 [MEDIA=audio]http://traffic.libsyn.com/goflying/Go_Flying_Australia_Podcast_013.mp3[/MEDIA] Click here for the Itunes link Click here for the Show Notes I would be interested to hear which aircraft are people's favourite from this era of Flying (1950s and 1960s)? Has anyone else from the forum flow some of the below types, what was it like? Today on the show I chat with RAAF Squadron Leader John Laming AFC. In the chat we discuss in detail John’s RAAF service which ranges from captaining an Avro Lincoln maritime patrol aircraft to flying the Governor General and Prime Minister as apart of no 34 VIP transport Squadron based in Canberra. John has flown a huge number of types during his time in the RAAF including the CAC Wirraway, P51 Mustang, De Havilland Vampires, Vickers Viscounts, Convair, DC-3 Dakota and Hawker Siddeley 748. He even once flew a Hawker Sea Fury borrowed from the Royal Australian Navy which was at the time was the fastest piston powered aircraft in the world.
