DGH

You can update VH-MCC from "under restoration" to "airworthy". 

The old girl is currently nestled next to Lesley's plane at Camden, no doubt exchanging a few yarns after everyone has gone home for the day.

DGH - also to cross reference appropriately, AKB is also WB 675. 

Given that Fitzy is watching, I'll refrain from waxing lyrical about why British chipmunks are better than Canadian ones, especially as we share a hangar!

Cheeky monkey! 

Let's hope no Canadians read this as it could become the longest post ever.

Ah, but I did give yours an affectionate pat this afternoon, when I took mine out for some rolls and loops!

Hi Lesley:

That's a very brave comment! Apart from the so-called baggage compartment and the battery installation, it could be easily argued that the DHC-1B is superior in every aspect to the UK-built T.10/Mk.21/Mk.22 - and this is from by someone who adores his Mk.22 with a passion!

PM sent (not about this).

Cheers,

Rod.

Ah, but the undercarriage pitch provides much more stability....
