I reckon you need to release another run of your DC-3 book Paul, I have never had the opportunity yo see a copy for sale, seems to be rare as hen's teeth. Arty Bees bookshop in Manners Street, Wellington often has a copy of that DC-3 book in stock when I browse their shelves. And on the Friday at the start of Queen's Birthday Weekend, I was browsing in the second-hand bookshop in Victoria Road, Devonport and noticed a good-condition copy on their shelves too. So there are copies around for sale.

Dave Tomorrow I will see if we have a spare copy for sale at Classic Flyers and let you know. If interested I will bring it down to Christchurch for the forum meeting.

If I recall correctly I'm sure I read somewhere of a Sandringham flight, ex Rose Bay, when the engines were not performing properly. On this occasion I think it turned out that although the right labels were on the fuel drums the contents pumped into the aircraft turned out to be vegetable oil. Whatever it was, it "was not true to label". Was this the same occasion?

Whatever it was, it "was not true to label". Was this the same occasion? That was a TEAL Short S.45A Solent 4 flying-boat. Somewhere at home in one of my bookcases is a book which tells the tale of that incident within its contents. However, I'm currently a moving target (have been travelling for the past couple of weeks), so don't have access to my book library at the moment and also haven't been online much. If nobody else comes up with the answer before I get home again in a couple of days, I'll go looking for the book in question and post details of the incident. I've posted a further reply HERE to The Short Boats thread on the All Time Popular NZ Aviation Preservation Threads messageboard to avoid further cluttering up this thread with off-topic stuff.
