··Burt Macklin, FBIA question for propeller-folk: the handle that the pilot pulls at touchdown -- is that to reverse propeller pitch?My guess it’s the flap lever, don’t thing this machine has reverse prop. I may be wrong but this is the way it is on my mates Storch.

·Dude, you are missing a fastner (circled) and your access door is not sitting flush (white line).
Time to get @Scarecrow out for a visit 😀

·This has a fix pitch prop. With all the stunts these RB pilots do and extreme maneuvers, it’s a modification for quick flap control. If you look at the final approach from the outside, knowing the pilot throws that lever quickly, you’ll see the flaps go from full flap to nothing from one still frame to the next

Great stuff as always. The German clock is a tachograph which will stamp a card and click on a red indicator at the end of a period. .

··Married... with children70% of fasteners is legal. That door will never sit flush. It's an old charter bird with close to 16,000 hours on it. Still a sweet flyer, though

Your post re the MRH-90 crash reminded me of this one in November 2006 on the HMAS Kanimbla off the coast of Fiji. Sadly, there were two fatalities on this one, a pilot and an SAS trooper.
Subsequent board of inquiry's findings here:

··Melbourne AustraliaYeah. Remember that well, even though it was a few years after I left the RAAF I wasn't surprised.
I was a systems engineer at ARDU involved in the clearance/certification of MAG-58 door guns (and other projects) on Blackhawks and did many flights with Army pilots. I'd flown with RAAF helo pilots many times previously and the Army pilots were just as professional, but there was a certain sense of "gung-ho mission or bust".
Did make for some exciting (butt clenching) flying around the range areas at Woomera though.

·@Omegafanman I saw those in the photo also and like Jim, I just imagined Salt and Pepper shakers! Maybe nautical lights also. Red Right Return like I learned on my Marine course in 1990. Jim, I will return and check when they re-open later in the week. Off to teach at the police academy for a few days this week. This place is on the way.
Nautical lights .... you were on the money :0)
