Last Avenger flying..

[Lang]

I had a fly in Randal MacFarlane's Avenger a few years back (is this the one now in NZ?). Pretty docile old girl but the most interesting thing was how quiet it was in the air - you could almost hold a conversation unlike nearly any other big horsepower military aircraft.

Hi Lang,

Yes I believe That the particular avenger That is now in NZ Was Randy's and before that if my memory serves me Correctly Was Plonky which was based at Wanaka.

I was Recently Down In the Hunter Valley and Found one of the Late Steve Searles TBM'S Sitting at Maitland Airport With its wings folded out in the Weather.

Cheers Matty Baker

Hope You and Bev Are going Fine.

Thanks Matt,

They really get around - suppose they cost a bit more than the wife's Corolla to own and run.
