Historic flight
Came across something in the JEP a few weeks ago about the old Douglas DC3 Dakota (Gooney Bird to those in the know!!) and that due to new rules and regulations they will soon no longer be used for public flights unless mopdified with stuff like padding, oxygen masks and escape chutes!! Not easy in a seventy plus year old plane and probably not even really needed!! Anyway a farewell event is touring the country and one of the weekends alotted was to be here in Jersey for Liberation Day (9th June). So the good old credit card was forced into action and on Saturday 10th I pitched up to the airport for my flight.
It was absolutely brilliant!! Whatsmore they were taking requests so we ended up flying not only over but right around Rozel for some superb aerial photos of home!! See 'last chance to see?' photo album.
