Itsa_me; Re the Partenavias..... can't remember the colour of the other (flying) one. It was on the DZ flight line right up until the last day but only AY ( the CP) flew it as I remember.
Later when I flew for Simbu out of Port Morbid I remember GH cruising around in it occasionally. And whilst I think of it, anyone know where GH is? Paging Ozexpat......
You only live twice. Once when
you're born. Once when
you've looked death in the face.

P2-COC wasn't it.?? P2-BOX, P2-TIT and P2-COC, collectively known as Obscene Airways.!! I flew P2-TIT after it had been sitting in the sun for several years on it's first flight. Yorkie asked me to test fly it after he had done the engineering to get it back in the sky. I must have been pished, mad, needed the hours, or all three at once. The dero club dero's were all on the terrace, beer in their hands toasting the occasion and waiting to see if it really could commit aviation as advertised. Belonged to Ron Slaughter and couldnt pull the skin off a rice pudding, just what is needed in PNG and the perils of density altitude.!! I lived anyway. TIT is in Noo Zulland now and in an environment more suited to its performance. Happy days.
