Alas and alack...my heart is breaking. Have just spent an hour in front of my usually amenable Mrs. dakota67 pleading, begging, grovelling, beseeching, promising her the stars and moon, throwing tantrums by kicking and whining on the floor...but all to no avail. She is adamant that I cannot purchase this beautiful taildragger and fly it out home to New Zealand so I could fly it by day and bunk down in the cockpit by night. She seems to have the quite unreasonable view that I have had enough aviation adventure during my time on earth and am jolly lucky to still be alive. She says that my PC C-47 Sim. programme will have to do. I do hope it goes to a loving owner. If he/she wants any advice on how to get the best out of it, I am here....
Oh Woe is me...(sniffle..sniffle as he pulls himself together and gets real).
