VH-KDK Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 After getting the Virtavia He 111 working I decided to try the Martin Mars. 1. Well it floats which is one good thing. 2. This is Pender, good isn't it. 3. Time to light up the newly installed Wright R-3350s borrowed from another plane! 4. Past Irvine's Landing with Caren Peak in the distance, part of the Spipiyus Provincial Park. 5. Turning north up the Malaspina Strait. 6. Texada Island. 7. Nelson Island at Billings Bay 8. G'day Gerold, the promontory under the plane's nose is Stillwater. 9. Powell River with CYCW. 10. The northern extremity of Powell River with Powell Lake beyond with Goat Island Peak in the centre. Hopefully to be continued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Sawyer Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 That was brilliant Martyn! More superb narrative, I wish I had more time to do this because it makes it all come alive with place names. Stillwater, I reckon Gerold will love it!

Ripcord Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Martyn, your thread titles never disappoint, sir! Never a clue what in the heck you could possibly be on about, but then I click and read and suddenly it all makes perfect sense -- every time.

Anthin Delahunt Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Thanks for that Martyn. It has been a long time since I was last passing through Southampton. If you ever get over here to the ACT let me know. Take care.. Anthin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
