I hear ya......FWIW, "Time spent on the water or in the air, is not deducted from one's lifespan". I have recently, (last 5 years), discovered sailing---mostly big Catamarans, (40' plus), and it has taken over as my passion. The aerodynamics of sailing are very similar---you would be amazed.

I've flown the Avro RJ for a few thousand hours, and I know it has one quality the the USFS will find useful.
It's seriously strong.

Ah! de Haviland.
I should pay more attention to your briefer posts... I had forgotten the Hawker Siddeley had inherited the company in 1960. :)
I believe that 146 was the last de Haviland type number used.

If as usual, I'm wrong, someone on this forum will tell us.
Feb 1964 is the last DH labelled project, DH126, before HS started in 1964 with the HS131, a rear engined twin proposal.

They went on to the HS144-200, with 2 engines, paper only, before settling on the HS146 around the end if 1973.

Due to politics at the time the project was shelved before getting the go-ahead in July 1978.

Designed for a crack-free life of 40,000 cycles, representing 30,000 flying hours with minor repairs of 55,000 flights and a structural endurance, with major repairs, of 80,000 flights.

Obviously they did not warranty near-disasters such as that in the video.

Best regards, from ‘Someone’ with 10 years on the little beauty... :O3
