Guest ozzie Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Awesome! All MK 1 Scouts must be 1975/6. I remember Lance well he was a regular contributor to the MAFA Contact news letter when i was editor of it. Made a few trips down south to fly with us as well. Got any more? How about some of the trips to Magnetic Island on floats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSCBD Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Started twitching watching this - the good old days - no license - no takeoff checks - kick the tyres - light the fires - and into the either. Was amused with the compass on the yellow scout airborne. Did not know the Townsville boys got that high on top of the trees, we tried to go between them due to nosebleeds and pucker factor that high up down south.
