    What is true of flying in England is equally true, mutatis mutandis, of flying in Australia. (Had to get some legal Latin mumbo jumbo in here)

    No! The correct quote is SIC TRANSIT GLORIA MUNDI. It was a telegram to Gloria telling her that the Ford Van had broken down and he would not be there until after the weekend.

    My wife got a TIF in a helicopter a few years ago.

    I have seen a plane which retracts its gear into the fuselage. On leg goes forward, the other back. Racking my brains! it must be either a jet fighter (to maintain profile) or very light (to maintain CoG). I hope someone solves this soon!

    THis is a good example of excess float due to excessive speed due to a dodgy ASI. Start at 18.00 if you don't want to enjoy the whole thing.

    With every one of those incidents, my first reaction would be to consider giving up flying. Then I would just decide to never do that thing again.

    I have seen interviews with crash survivors who recommend keeping it in your pocket. Because you will not remember to grab it when exiting the plane and so it goes up in smoke unactivated if the plane burns.

    Drones are the key to this.

    I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today. JWW. He gave his name to a bomber and a hamburger chain. Not bad for a cartoon character.

    I think you could sign temporary MR on a sheet of paper to cover a flight. But I am no lawyer! Your licence/medical arrives digitally, can you retrieve it from archived email?

    First time I persuaded my wife to go flying.

    You need the licence, POH and MR but not the logbook.

    The prop on Scrappy came from an airboat. It has done test runs but there was a recent hint that it will be changed for something more aviation like.

    You took a while, given the discussions we have had I thought you would be the first to reply!

    And as I posted earlier, I use Google but a description in words to search. Sometimes I waste (enjoy) an hour doing it. I agree image search is cheating, but the few times I tried it for an aeroplane it always found a Cessna 172.

    John’s multi plane from 1920. Googled “the airplane with the most wings”. 🤔

    Of course, you are quick too Peter.
