Would love to be your co-pilot :) as I may have mentioned to you over lunch, I did some flying with my brother in law (if I did not mention it i’ll will do so when we have fish and ships in your neck of the woods).

Best,

Nice composition:  You got the prop and the barrel star aligned and the nose wheels turned in the same direction!  ;^)

So I did! If only I could claim I planned it like that!
It’s interesting to note that the Falco design pre-dates the pagoda by 4 years!

I was going to write exactly that - this is where it must have come from. But I thought it was a revelation just for a foreigner...  :)

How’s the general aviation in England?  I fly over it often but at FL350. Looks like a nice field.
