Thanks for that. I googled Hardy Brothers Pittsworth and indeed they operated two Avro 643 cadet 11s.
They also replaced the original radials with 220 HP jacons R755. I now stand corrected after 50 years

............now now guys stop showing me piccies of the old Beech, I've gotten over them now, had a little tear in me eye when I left with many 1000's of hrs on them so don't need to revisit the past thanks all the same Although the fast red one looks nice brudda:-) Am sure PelAir are enjoying their contract....NOT !
PC12?............sheeez me shudders just 'tinking about them
I doubt we'll ever see a side stick controller on the old Beech or another commercial Airliner as I believe the 'Frogs' have it patented. Much nicer to handle or manipulate an A/C with it I must say Like a big toy plane:-)
The only thing I never liked about the old Beech was the column sticking out of the dash.

Are those token ropes under the wings actually long enough to be useful?
I see them on most floatplanes and often wonder.

Plus they're quite handy when you're trying to hold on to it or move it around on a dock.
PianoMan - some awesome photos there! One could even say, they're cXs'y!
