The incident occurred whilst working on a 1950's twin engined aircraft, used for aerial surveys. Yes it was messy, very.
Lol - it was an "Elsan" toilet, similar to the ones you found in caravans in the 1970's. The chemical on it's own stank, but when mixed with "floaters" it became nasty.

I take a “loop the loop” would certainly be out of the question in one of those. Not a Dakota by any chance.

[/quote]There’s a restoration project of one those planes on eBay for £25k. Maybe it’s the Elsan Flyer.

You're going to need deep pockets, a lot of time on you're hands and access to experience lol :lol
Have you got a link?

Re: Whoever posts last is best - robbo - 11-02-23

I just googled Twin Pioneer and it was the first hit. I’ll try and find it, but won’t know how to post a link.

It turned out to be an old eBay advert (2017)on the Key Aero forum.

I think that, that particular aircraft was taken apart at Coventry due to a life expired component and never put back together again :'( . But then again it maybe another one.

Like with old bikes, when spares run out it’s down to old guys with superb engineering skills to fabricate parts. The sad thing is, that young people will inherit classic cars, bikes, planes, boats etc, and will have no interest and also no appreciation as to the history and value of their inheritance. When I visit the Hollyville cafe, about half a mile past the Brands Hatch main entrance on the right towards M25, on Sundays, it’s usually awash with ‘50’s to ‘70’s bikes ridden by old guys like me. Give it less than 20 years, where will all those bikes be. I know where the old guys will be. Quite sad really. :'(

You've hit the nail on the head - you don't really see many 50 - 65 year old's belting around on classic British stuff, but you'll see them on GS's, Z'ds and the like.

I was in my early 60’s when I sold my last two old British bikes. They were fine for the odd rockers run to the coast and regular Sunday runs with like minded souls, but I didn’t really enjoy the constant tinkering and jumble searches for parts. Regular visits to either the magneto man or the chronometric clock guy, used to empty my pockets quite regularly. I know a lot of people who really enjoy that side of ownership, but I really like to ride bikes, and so, as you mentioned, Japanese is the way to go, for reliability in the main, as well as a good turn of speed. Parts might be getting a bit more elusive, but there’s usually a way of solving problems. I missed out on early Japanese super bikes as children got in the way of that, but have certainly appreciated them.

[/quote]Talking of ranches, have you watched Yellowstone on Paramount+. Certainly worth a watch if you haven’t seen it. :thumbup

I'm not old enough to watch Paramount :lol :lol
[/quote]Whaaaat. You can’t beat an afternoon of Paramount+, a bag of Werther’s Originls, followed by a nap. Perfect :thumbup

You've just confirmed it with the reference to Werthers Originals :rollin :rollin :rollin
