Everytime I allow the hired help (Pat) to escape I arrange a fly past as he drives down the pass. Mainly C130s but every now and then a Typhoon or Tornado. The Hercs are sometimes level with the house!Do not regret growing older, it's a privilege denied to many!

Re: DC3
Years ago I watched a pair of Hercs come up Loch Fyne, across the road right over my head about 200' and into the valley and pull a tight climb at the head of it. Wondered if there were any blokes in them feeling sick as sea going parrots. Possibly heading to the DZ up near Ft William, the name has left me now.Originally posted by Mick Doc Doherty View PostEverytime I allow the hired help (Pat) to escape I arrange a fly past as he drives down the pass.
