I'm interested in the post re Charles Alan Washer, killed in 1940 in a Beaufort crash.

I remenber Fish, I used to have a beer with him and Kingi quite often when we were in Christchurch. Hard case guys, I didn't know Fish had crashed one. Sorry for the delay. to be fair, Fish didn't crash 13. The spline to the FCU drive severed, so he and his crew, and some fairly notable Army passengers were just along for the ride. Fish and Undies did as good a job as anyone, and no fatalities. Hats off. Now Fish is doing something much more dangerous - riding a racing bike on open roads. Never learns.

As always, an enthralling read. "First tragedy since WW2" made the jaw drop at the persistent ignorance perpetrated by some in the media circles.
The technical description of the unfortunate incident of '13 is much appreciated, Mr Fish.
Another 'war story'. I remember Mike (Cronin) and Bam-bam. The latter was partly responsible for a tragic Thursday evening on 'apple weeze' in the Woody Baggies'. The other incriminating agent was my patent naiveté towards the effects of garage-grade cider!
Aaahhh, warm memories.
