I look after and fly a 450 for someone, am happy to chat,

[hatzflyer]

Thanks Genghis,

!

It's my ultimate, and I am quietly hatching a plan. Yeah, I know you lot all like your RV 4/6/7/8/9 speedy stuff, but given the choice, I think a Stearman pips it for me.[/quote]


Would this cunning plan be buying some new equipment for the farm so that the Taxman gives you a rebate and all us taxpayers buy your new cropspraying equipment ?

[ChampChump]

I have a North by Northwest image involving **** now...

[Paul_Sengupta]

What would you spray on them?

All I can say is I wish I were a farmer... If only I could say Arrrrhhh properly, but I can even grow proper ear and nose hair and worst of all, I have no desire to spend intimate time with sheep.

Oh well, but Marge surely you will need a co-pilot?

Marj ... I'm at Priory farm. I'll pm Bob Sage's number as he's the man you should talk too.

Better still Gerry Honey, the CFI at Old Buckenham probably has more Stearman time than most (And more Harrier time too)

Rob P

1200 hours+ I believe and and the same, if not more on Harriers...(at least 1,000). If he ever wrote a book, I think it woud be fascinating read...

Just returned from Staverton and there was a Stearman taxi passed me on the apron after a short flight. They're Big aren't they

Stearman no. 205 is currently advertised for sale with AT Aviation:

The right colours, IMHO

[seanjd]

How about one of these


Well if they come with one of these

[quote="Marjorie"]That'll be a chap from an airfield near Basingstoke?! [/quote]
Correct!

[quickieq2uk]

Flew a Stearman for the first time today. Highly recommended. Nice and stable, very easy to fly.

[shortwing]

try landing it!
