Auster pilot? I remember old Ranald Porteous getting hung up in the trees at Somerford airfield, Hants, many years ago. I was at Flight Refuelling and we had five Tiger Moths at Somerfor

I know this off-topic, but that certainly must have been a while back!

My brother worked at SRDE and I lived in the Bournemouth area for 30 years.

I don't fly the Auster now - it's an easy aicraft to fly, but a pig to land and I didn't fly it often enough to be safe (so perhaps Mr Porteous gained an equal understanding after his incident)
