There's something like a Dove sitting at Wallan. Pretty run down, however mostly in-tact internally.

Your average old fuselage has, once the interior is removed,lots and lots of nice sharp corners and things for little kids to cut themselves on.
Yeah, but it's nothing that a good set of tools, some basic handyman skills and a few hours couldn't fix!

....................."dooorstop" if you had have said you knew of a Dove fuse in a suburb just to the sth of En airport then it would have bought back bad memories (was flying another one the exact time that one crashed !)..................a certain EN operators old Dove (DH104) made a one point landing in some poor buggers back yard some years ago due eng failure.............& they didn't even want a cuby house !:-)


capt wally

p.s...........doorstop would you know the colouring of said Dove in the western burbs?..........I used to fly a couple a long time ago, probably one of them is that one!

Hope you're not planning to sell your house for a loooong time - I'd suggest most buyers may have a different take on your 'pop art' aircraft in the back yard (that they'll have to spend $$$ craning/choppering out... )
