The beef is cooling. Then it will be into the pie and in the oven !

When I flew from Dublin airport (to Birmingham) the plane was a Shorts 330 or similar. @Classic will know the exact nomenclature.

It had propelors, and it was a very small plane. The noise and vibration was horrendous, not helped by the fact that I had been consuming Powers Whiskey until 4am that morning.

Changing the engine start switch!

I used to have a Hillman Imp (Californian) that had a sticky starter motor. If it wouldn't start, I had to try it roll it forward a foot or so, then the starter motor made contact in a different spot. Did they try that before changing the switch?

This evening I will be making Eierschmarrn.

Sadly not.

Shorts Skyvan? Sheer luxury.
In NZ last Easter, we flew in a DC3 that was older than I am.

And also in a Convair 580.

Stena Challenger?

Can't remember, it was 25yrs ago (and I'd spent a fortnight in Ireland so the brain was a tad fuzzy)

Have you seen or heard a carrot clarinet?

No I haven't I'll have to look it up. At one point this afternoon I sounded like a flock of geese.

Given the wind direction it could be a very quick flight. Actually, things are calming down now.

Very modern.

The first plane I flew in was a DH Dragon Rapide:

(Not that exact one - Not sure if I took a photo of the one I flew in)
