Speedy on the Dark Side

01-May-13

Trevor Mills contributed these pics with the comment ... "Speedy on the dark side".
     

 

According to Speedy ... "it was not a journey to the Dark Side ... it was just a very fast motor glider". 
   
"Can we shut the engine off once we find a bit of lift?" he asked!
  
One of the 12 syndicate owners of the Mustang (Geoff - pictured with Speedy below) had to do a test fly after an engineer (Carl) flew out from the USA to undertake some warranty work on the Mustang's engine.
Speedy commented ... "As the back seat was empty and I often help the guys get the Mustang's tug in and out of Sandora now it is closed, Geoff offered me a fly ... I just happened to be there at the right time!"
Speedy's verdict ... "the Mustang was surprisingly light on the controls ... very nice to fly".
