Lol!
Landing on cars and aerobatics in sailplanes does sound like the kind of tomfoolery that would occur at Mcleland field... :lol:

Hey that has given me an idea!...I could probably land that Eastbourne Monoplane on one of the Alvis Stalwart guard vehicles...Or even on a cruise ship while steaming :lol:

I knew one of you would know precisely what bits of flying I meant ;)

Question is, will there be a video from PAMA anytime soon? :lol:

Jim,

I'm busy getting Echo RTW at the moment...I think there might be a video of Echo flying round INSIDE the crater of the Ol Longonot volcano...something I did in real life both in the Venom and the Hunter...Hunter needed 20 flap. Also I'm hoping to recreate a flight into and out of the top of "Hell's Gate" (that might be a challenge to find on any map, but it is in the Great Rift Valley just south of Lake Naivasha). The mesh I now have in Africa has brought many real remembered landmarks to life.

BTW...Ol Longonot features several times in my PowerPoint presentation "208 Squadron in Kenya".

EDIT...Hell's Gate was rather a secret place and almost impossible to get to in 1960...But things change:-
